No house is perfect (as I've learned) but it sounds like this one is pretty close to everything you're looking for . . . This is so exciting! You know how much I love house hunting. I hope you'll show us more! This looks like it has all kinds of potential and that setting looks fantastic.

I'll even sleep in a tent. That said, we were there a few months ago (I mean, on the cliff of buying a house that would make us poor, not at that particular house, although that would be a weird coincidence) and ended up not buying the house. A lot of it had to do with the fact that it had been freshly reno'd in a not-terrible style, but in a definite style that is far from our own. The thought of undoing a lot of those projects added up pretty quickly--making a reach house a definitely-out-of-our-price-range house. Good luck making a decision! That view is the bomb.

Of course, you would keep the, ahem, lovely floral arrangement on the upper cabinets in the kitchen, right? Looks like a winner. Is it close to Karly?

You could totally work with that and not mess it up--think about it--you could put copper-wrapped board shelves on it and dress them up with tiny 60s copper sculptures, or you could put a patina on it and let it keep a lovely green-gray textural element to the room. it would work very well with a hollywood regency feel, or even 70s disco/deco-in fact would be a great counterpoint to super-slickness. You could also get some wallpaper with copper in the pattern and just run it all the way to the ceiling. that said, I bought an apt. a little out of my reach a few years ago and have been regretting it ever since. but I don't have a little one to think about. i love the copper fireplace surround.
