House Tour Crashers




Today Heidi and I went on an awesome walk in the neighborhood. We noticed it was the Edgefield House Tour day and man-o-man where there a bunch of great houses to see. Unfortunately we hadn't known about it ahead of time, so no tickets were purchased. But when we passed this amazing rehabbed house on Russell St. I knew we had to crash the tour because I'd been in this house when it was for sale and the owners had had an open house. It is beyond amazing...poured concrete floors up and down, wood decking on some walls and some walls in the kitchen were tiled with this beautiful tile that looked like small cut stone laid unevenly and at slightly different heights..it made the modern layout of the house feel so warm...i love the finishes! The backyard has a separate artist's studio and garage...oh my, now Heidi wants to be adopted by a house. I told her I'll write her an excellent recommendation. Way to go to these homeowners and designers, what a wonderful addition to our historic neighborhood!

Stacia,I saw the inside of this home about a month ago and was blown away!- this could very well be at the top of my list for my personal dream home!(even compared to some of the restored mid-century moderns out in Palm Springs,CA...) The vibe,style, finishes,fixtures,use of space, and the garage/studio space as well.-everything about it.This was an amazing transformation from a brick ranch style home-to a modern contemporary palace- hard to believe.They did a brilliant job on this one.I'd like to see more of this in East Nashville, even on a smaller (more affordable) scale.
