This residence by Mark English Architects was designed to make a character-less house look like something with more, er, character. They gave it the appearance of being built onto over time and we're loving the rustic, weathered look tempered by shocks of yellow...
You'll see the biggest jolt of yellow in the kitchen, but also in the house's entry. Wondering what room has that square little window you see in the exterior shot? It lights the clean and modern bathroom upstairs. See the rest of this project at Mark English Architects. Photos: Claudio Santini

Lots of beautiful photos on this site, probably very expensive, but great for some inspiration to DIY. Love the vintage stove with the stone floor.
Great idea!
And the 2nd O'Keefe and Merritt stove on AT in 24 hours... with the Chambers stove earlier this week and 2 weeks ago, I am sensing a kitchen trend...
Can we bring back white appliances?
"Can we bring back white appliances?"
I agree - as well as flagstone floors and site-built custom cabinetry.
Love it! The silvered, weathered wood with the beams and strong architechural features are gorgeous. I love the exterior and stone siding in the second photo....very rustic. The simple decor looks great and doesn't compete with the structure of the house. Yes....I like white appliances and am glad to see it making a comeback (even though I have a stainless steel stove). Great vintage stove! Thank you for featuring more country homes. Very inspirational!
"Can we bring back white appliances?"
I hope so. I have all white appliances and love them, but sometimes feel not part of the crowd because I don't have stainless.
Me too but they work. I have white everything else so why would I bother getting a different colour of appliance? And stainless steel is often more expensive.
I'm lovin' the yellow...the flagstone would only work in a warm climate...too bad for me:(
speaking of site built cabinets, it has always baffled me that when i watch design shows redo kitchens with 40-50k budgets that not a single piece of cabinetry is site made. everything comes in a cardboard box.
i recently found an entire kitchen that was site built but had been removed at an architectural salvage place for less than 500 dollars. it's all tongue and groove pine and very cool. the layout is L shaped but could be finagled into 15 different ways. If you look at the cost breakdown of a standard ikea kitchen, one cabinet with the legs, countertop and drawer pulls will average over $400. just food for thought...
