Located in the interestingly named Atlanta suburb of Cumming, Ga. Finally someone with the talent to design and build a house in the long ago style that's almost impossible for most to duplicate these days. This joint is simply gorgeous IMO. Quality throughout rather than the usual tacky imitations you see. If all the amenities in this house are new they did an incredible job of making them look authentically old.

This Dupuytren's Contracture is giving me fits! Edited by Tybee, Sep 19 2014, 07:05 PM.

It is beautiful, excellent woodwork, but to dark for my taste. |

I could live happily in that tree house (if it's got indoor plumbing). |

It looks super-kitschy to me. And that staircase looks cheap. And the fireplace with the Latin in a HUGE font is laughably pretentious. |

Maybe my eyes are more shot than I thought. I didn't even see the writing above the fireplace. That would definitely have to go. And a lot of those furnishings are silly. But the structure is really well executed. I have to wonder if they didn't use some salvaged woodwork from old estates. Much of it just looks too authentic to be brand new, even if faux aged.

When my parents expanded our home when I was a teen, they bought lumber that had been used to build a 19th Century church. It was really beautiful wood and made for a very warm feeling, especially knowing there was one less church in the world . . . |
