Crops - As In Corn! And New Interior Photographs of This Tudor House

This is really cool. The owners of the empty lot next to this beautiful house have a big garden - I see corn. Wonder what else they planted? I love a garden of fresh vegetables in the summer...

Bill Baker designed this house which was built in 2007/08. Rabaut Design Associates did the interior design. The kitchen in the house was featured in Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles Kitchen of Year Contest.

While I was sleuthing around trying to find out who the builder of this house was (it's Lester Custom Homes), I discovered photos of the house right after it was finished. It is surprising how different the house looks decorated versus raw. I really enjoyed looking at these photos because this house was built at the same time mine was, right around the corner and I always wondered what the inside was going to look like. I like seeing the house with no furniture. The house is Tudor, but the inside is not all dark wood. It's a bright fresh approach to Tudor style. Let's look at the photos...

A few of the entrance hall from the builder's website. I have never seen the entrance hall on either the designer's website or in Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles:










I love seeing all of the architectural detail - notice the stone floor, I always wondered what they put on the floor.

The designers, stylists and photographers really change the look don't they? Which photos do you prefer?
