I can tell you guys have great personalities, and that makes this house a real treat to view. It's uncontrived and true to its 1930s roots. And while the clowns scare me, the wood piece in the living room is a real show-stopper and totally makes up for them. Great job all around!

I really like the little collections in the living room, and that red and white door. And your art. And that arch.

It's the inlaid wood floor details that do it for me.

This is one of the best homes I've seen on AT in a long while! Favourite aspects include the hanging sculpture, the inlaid floors, the bold kitchen color scheme and the arrangement of the vintage wooden furniture with the artworks.
