A house that is cute… and shy.
Just barely peaking above the fence line.
A modest home… even for it’s day… yet it has two masonry chimneys, a metal roof, wood siding, a large front porch, and attractive windows… all features missing in most new homes today selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Here is the Adam Thoroughgood house… perhaps one of the most recognized of historic American homes.
I’ve never been to see the Thoroughgood home, but I did once have a client who had an exact replica of this house built for himself. That house, was… amazing… much more visually impacting than this photo could ever hope to reveal.
The combination of good design, handmade brick, and a slate roof, makes for a fine home.

Help me!
My trim has been painted an awful shade of yellow.
And, I’ve been surrounded by vinyl covered cubes!

Can you think of a better fence than one made of stone?

A gorgeous old country farmstead.

Yes, it’s true, there are even log cabins in Phoenix, Arizona.
This replica is of an original pioneer cabin.

Here’s an intriguing cottage.
It appears to be a new home, built using salvaged materials.
I have never used metal roofing materials for siding, but you know, I kinda like the look. And, it would make for a low cost, zero maintenance option to wood siding
I understand that metal panel siding is popular in the state of Texas, but unheard of here in Virginia other than for new outbuildings.
What do you think of this rustic cabin?

The smallest house in Charleston, South Carolina.
As cute as a button.
I’m sure it’s admired and loved by everyone there.
And, I’m equally sure it’s now illegal to build another one as small as this.
Go figure.

We had heavy frost last night here in Virginia.
Fall is REALLY here now.
I do love the Fall colors.
And, flannel shirts.
And, lighting that first fire in the fireplace!

A dream home doesn’t need to remain a dream.
Where do you see yourself five years from now?
There are only two options… make plans, or make excuses.
Decide what you want, create a plan, and then… take the next step… and then the next one… and then the next one…
