Beautiful houses
Today's beautiful house on Norfield Road was built in 1830, and features 7 fireplaces.
The exterior is simple and welcoming:
All that you might want to add is a pretty seasonal display:
The simple exterior belies the rather grand interiors. A nice surprise, isn't it?
Again, the beautiful architecture doesn't need improved, but maybe enhanced a little:

Just a little bit of color to bring in a little more personality. The entry chandelier and sconces lining the hallway are a nice touch, if this old house is up for it.
The living room also has beautiful moldings, and seems eager to be a gorgeous yet comfortable room.
I think it might happily cozy up with this design:

We just need a fantastic bed from which to admire it:

As for this bedroom:
I think it wants a fantastic bed, too:

I like how this house combines a picture-perfect Connecticut farmhouse exterior with a wonderfully spacious and gracious interior. It doesn't get much better than that.
