They are wonderful and if they suited my home I might be tempted. I am looking to replace the railings at the front of my home as during the second world war railings were taken from most houses to make ....? not sure really, something military I suppose. During my research I have discovered that different areas of England had different designs.<br />ZoeBZoeBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02356838644820251954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275902626341536184.post-20959156650078906452010-09-27T14:17:22.898-04:002010-09-27T14:17:22.898-04:00Thank you everyone for your comments.

The previous owners of this home are the folks behind Hedgewood Homes which developed the community.<br /><br />I never thought about the children / pet factor of the railing.

Zero lots, but the houses seem quite beautiful and well situated - taking your Italian theme a bit further, almost like an Italian village where you have houses that each have their own character and are well defined, yet distinct.<br /><br />Back to the house in the post - I remember seeing the interiors in a magazine a few years ago. Maybe the defunct Atlanta Home magazine (it was a few times a year publication, part of Atlanta Magazine).<br /><br />That iron balcony - no way this passes code - kids would be falling off that balcony constantly (so would pets). I guess this is a better house for a single person or empty nester (without visiting grandchildren!).Things That Inspirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04405995431610377305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275902626341536184.post-7681269024019790452010-09-23T16:46:59.135-04:002010-09-23T16:46:59.135-04:00I love that house!
