We're still (eternally) shopping for houses, and I need your savvy input. What do you think of Tudor home design?
Sure this sucker is wearing way too much eyeliner, but is there anything that could be done to save it -- to modern it up while retaining its vintage English charm?
I mean, I really always imagined myself in something more like so, but Daddy Warbucks hasn't adopted me yet. What if I did up that Tudor more like this?
And less like this?
Could it work?

Is buying a white couch a fool's errand? What if you own one toddler and might have plans to make it a two fer? What if you have a long haired gray cat who thinks she's a wad of velcro? Deep down inside I know buying a white couch is probably a very bad idea, but my superficial exterior thinks it would transform my living room into a shining beacon of glory. I do know what I won't be buying, though...
A white SUEDE couch. I mean... wow. White. suede. Hasn't Robert Couturier ever seen Can't Buy Me Love?
Cindy is going to be in big trouble when mommy finds out she spilled wine all over the megabucks white suede outfit Cindy jacked from her closet...
Another thing I'm not going to buy is a white chesterfield. Sure, it sings its siren song of leather and whispered promises of easy clean up, but that's a dirty lie. Cleaning gunk out of those little buttons is the bane of my existence, and our chesterfield is dark. I can't even imagine what cleaning a white chesterfield would look like... Hell, methinks.
I want to like this, but I think the cushions look cheap. Agree? Disagree?
Still I really want a white couch. I'd love something slipcovered, but I don't want it to look like a slipcovered couch. The one above would do nicely.
Am I crazy?
Please answer with regard to the white couch question only.

But let's move on and look at some zombie free rooms, shall we?

But you know how Martyn Lawrence Bullard is...
He thinks eating human flesh is totally delicious.
