Is this a Tudor Revival?
Comments (16)English Cottage. Thank you!!! :) We actually have 1,700 square feet, not counting the basement. It's very deceptive from the outside. We almost didn't even look at it when we were looking at houses for that very reason. First floor has living room, dining room, kitchen, one bedroom and a full bath. Second floor is two bedrooms, 1/2 bath and what was listed as a "sewing room" which is a little room off our bedroom. The upstairs bedrooms are around 10x10 and I think 12x10. The closets run the entire length of the bedrooms. Plus, we have another small closet in our bedroom AND a big storage closet off the sewing room. Hallway upstairs has a cedar closet and another small closet. The stairs go up about 10 stairs, landing with a window, then turn and go up 3 more. On that landing is a tiny storage thing at the floor...about a foot high, but pretty deep. I have NO idea what that little things is for!!! I use it to store birthday decorations and Easter baskets. haha!...See More1930 Paint Colors & Tudor Revival

Comments (13)I've lived in a midwestern college town for 16-17 years and am fairly familiar with West Lafayette, IN. I also worked as a realtor in this town for 8 or so years. Rules that normally apply to homes don't apply when one is talking about a house near a college campus. Location within walking distance of a midwestern university will trump most other things. While the deck maybe unattractive, there are a few things to note: first, there appears to be a concrete patio, probably attached to the house, which is actually the floor of the deck. It's a pretty common thing to find on these types of houses in the midwest. Second, the surrounding deck material was probably installed for safety reasons. If the patio is high enough off the ground, it needed some kind of fencing to prevent people from falling off. If the house was ever a rental, it was probably a local code requirement. The deck material was not the most attractive choice, likely the cheapest, but it probably can't be removed without replacement for code reasons if there are any tenants. Finally, if the house is within walking distance to campus, the reputation of being the house kids hung out on the front deck will not be a detriment in a future sale. Kids hang out on porches in college towns in the midwest. Future buyers will be more interested in it's location. As I said, normal house buying rules don't always apply in cases like this one. That said, I would not recommend a different color for the door area. It's not really characteristic of these types of houses, unless it's brick or stone, for the color to be different. It would look kind of "mcmansiony" to me....See MoreIs it a sin to remove mahogany moulding from a 1920's tudor revival?
Comments (39)It’s your house. If you can’t move and it’s not to your tastes then remodel. I’d personally try to work with the details than cover them up, but painting that trim white wouldn’t be the end of the world by any stretch. Plenty of talented designers, including the likes of Ben Pentreath and Bunny Williams, have painted architectural details in homes. But make sure that’s actually what you WANT to do, as part of a cohesive design to the house. I wouldn’t paint it *just* to paint it unless I absolutely had to....See MoreRelated Professionals
