I love that you don't go for that newly renovated (and, therefore, a clearly dated room) look. There are many old homes that have been cookie-cutter renovated in a 2004 Pottery Barn spread.

" I notice you are busy and usually unable to respond to comments, but just was interested in your style choice. I love the way you have integrated the modern into your rowhouse, but the comment pasted above made me wonder if you believe in integrating the periods or covering up a classical structure. I have a foursquare stucco and have been searching for a way to integrate some modern elements into my house. Your blog has some great ideas that I hope to use. However, I would never attempt to conceal the classical elements within in my house, but would rather marry classical and modern than try to deny the house's original woodwork and trim. “As with all-white interiors, I really like the way that a monochromatic exterior plays down the details of woodwork and other kinds of trim on older homes. ”
