I had the pleasure of spending a little time inside this brick beauty yesterday…
It belongs to a fun new friend, and it was such a treat to meet her and her house!
I couldn’t resist taking some photos while I was there. I had my camera in the car, but no tripod, so I apologize in advance for the grainy interior pics!
I could’ve snapped 200 more, but I was only there for a little while and I didn’t want to have a camera stuck in front of my face the whole time! 😀
Happy weekend!
PS- For more pics between posts, join me over on Twitter, Facebook and/or Instagram!
Wow. I am in love :). Thanks to your friend for sharing…very inspirational!
what an amazing home! LOVE that stairway!
Nothing but “WOW” would be appropriate!!! Captures my esthetic exactly. A little house envy here 🙂
That home is just gorgeousness all over the place!!! Thanks for sharing those wonderful photos of such an inspirational home. Is it an older home that has been remodeled?
that is awesome. i could have looked at another 200 pics of it. so many kitchen cabinets floor to ceiling. beautiful.
Wow! I am totally in love with this house and its architectural elements. I love older homes. Thanks for sharing.
Great to see someone making good use of their Tudor style home. So many people buy old houses and don’t respect them. This one is so lovely!
I agree!!
Absolutely, gorgeously wonderful!
Stunning, Stunning, and Stunning.
Wow, that’s quite the digs! Love the ceiling beams. That pig knocker would probably scare me in the dark every time!
Wow. The house is absolutely gorgeous!
Beautiful home. Thanks to you and your friend for sharing.
Layla – those are some beautiful pictures of a gorgeous house. Making new friends is always fun! Happy Day to you!
Thank you for sharing…I have to say out of all the pictures and the beautiful things in the home my favorite was the plant in the angels…
I love old homes like these with ALL that character! I would get so nervous that I wouldn’t get something right in decorating a home with so much character. Much praise for those like your friend so us timid folk have something to work off of. Gorgeous!
Wow! How exciting to see such a beautiful home. Thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful home!
Really like the upholstered chairs in the bottom pic. Are they swivel? Who is the manufacturer?
I would like to know that, too.
What amazing architecture! It reminds me of some of the old cathedrals in New England. The fun part is that you never would have guessed the interior looked like that from the exterior! The exterior is nice but sedate. The interior is spectacular!
Such a lovely home…such craftsmanship and style. Thank you for sharing with us!
Our church has similar beams on the ceiling. I’ve never seen this design feature used in such a grand way in a private home. It’s stunning!
I also love her kitchen bar stools. Glad you got a close up of those.
What a magnificent home..the architecture is simply amazing!…Such beauty everywhere…and the views seem wonderful!
Wow Layla! This home is beautiful. I absolutely love the ceiling in the entry and the upstairs hall is gorgeous. And I love, love, love the kitchen. I also love the panelled storage beside the fireplace. It looks just like a wall with molding, but it actually hides cupboards for storage. Just lovely. I think that is a great idea for a small house. Usually in a small house there is not much wall space showing because you have furniture and bookshelves along most of the wall. Here you can have your storage but have some wall to rest your eyes on and make the room look less full. Please thank your friend for allowing us to see her beautiful home.
My skipped 5 beats…thats 5,000 beats. WOW that house is fabulous! Just seeing the outside would want to make a grown girl cry. It screams charm from the roof tops. That’s why I have always said I should of been born in another era, along time ago era. Those houses NO one (well a few, some…not me) could afford to build homes with such devine charm, ALL brick, AND the details. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh….thanks for sharing and making my day:)
Just gorgeous. I didn’t see a fridge. Was it hidden behind cabinet doors?
Wow is right, what a beautiful house & it looks like she’s done an excellent job of making it a comfortable, welcoming home. I didn’t see anything I’d change but did see many things I would like to have in my home. Thanks to you & your friend for sharing
Love the kitchen and the planked ceiling. And that last pic with the sitting area? Those chairs are to die for!!!
Beautiful home and lovely pictures! Thank you for sharing. Hummm…wish she be my new friend, too!
Wow! The ceilings are amazing! Love the tour and that house!
Love this house! Those ceiling trusses are magnificent!
Wow! What a lovely “cathedral” of a house. The kitchen and breakfast nook are to die for. Thanks for sharing it.
wow that is an amazing home. thanks for the awesome pics.
just found your site by accident (or was it 😉 love it. i cold be on here for hours .thanks so much. have found my new facination
The rafters and ceilings are breathtaking! How old of a house is this?
Is all the woodwork original?
It is simply stunning!
While I will never understand the attraction to deer antler chandeliers, those big wooden beams and metal light fixtures over the stairway were stunning! It had a feel like an old university library, which in my book (ha!) would be wonderful to have in a house!
Oh. My. Goodness – I love houses with architeture similar to this and the orginal woodwork is stunning. Totally unrelated, the second-story shot of the open-balcony/foyer reminds me so much of the house in the movie The Omen I had flasbacks to a movie I haven’t seen in more than a decade (which would not remotely stop me from buying/living in this house).
That cathedral ceiling is amazing! (As its the rest of the house.) And as someone who decided to refinish her 100 year old wood trim instead of painting it, I live seeing stained wood!
Oh my Gosh, there is not one. single. thing. that I did not LOVE in that house. That wild boar knocker absolutely knocked me over! What a wonderful treat to see!
All around awesomeness! Love the beams & the barstools especially.
Layla,
Thanks for sharing that beautiful home with us! I love the candle looking chandelier above the kitchen island!
Wow those rafters are gorgeous! Just stunning. What year is this house? Love the kitchen too!
WOW. Simply, amazingly WOW. Speechless I am, I tell you. I was really hating my home until i spied the little bit of dust on the fabulous light over the island and I realized there might be hope for my house some day too! (Just keeping it real- that was in no way a judgement call!) Just beautiful! Blessed is a beautiful, happy home!
Do you have any idea where she purchased the extra long matchstick blind shown behind the pretty chairs in the last photo?
I need one 8 feet. Thank you. MJ
Such beautiful architecture and all the built-ins are fantastic!
Love love the chairs in the master….Do you happen to know where she purchased these? Or do you think she could tell us??! Thanks!! And, thanks for the tour!
Wow! Beautiful…Thank you for the great pictures
So incredibly beautiful!
I want to be friends!!!
Such a HOMEY home!!! Very lovely!
That is one gorgeous house!
Wow! The outside of this home is lovely, but the inside wasn’t what I expected! What a wonderful surprise! Very interesting and so much character! Beautiful home!
So glad you were able to share and please thank your friend!

Wow – gracious. That’s an amazing house! Thank you for sharing.
I was thinking this morning about the older home in Montgomery that you featured mid-reno several months ago. Do we get to see the “after”?
Just when you think your own home is looking pretty spiffy with all the thrift store “remade” furniture, you show us pictures like that! I looked up from the computer, surveyed my room, and laughed. That is the most gorgeous home I think I’ve ever seen – so serene, so absolutely one-of-a-kind beautiful…thank you for sharing!!
