I do agree that coordination of the architecture, furnishings, objects, and details are all part of the houses overall design. We've been discussing national style frequently in class and I believe that even though this is a small singular home, that the style throughout the house is its own nationla style. The pops of color in the parlor and dining room brings a sense of contrast into the room. At the same time, the way the vibrant green and busy carpet create a rhythm throughout the room that make the eye flow more smoothly.
It is clear that over time, the house has changed. It is obvious that it is an older house, even with the newer furnishings, through the "bones" of the house. Even though, the furntiure in the bedrooms is a little bit more modern the doors, floors, and fireplaces seem to be mostly original, keeping the aspect of an old home still there. I believe this is carried on throughout other century like homes throughout the country. I know many people that live in century homes today and have made them into their own but have kept the old feel in them.
The colors of this home are classic colonial, old country colors. The red brick, white doors and windows, and black shutters put emphasis on the castle like exterior of the house. The natural light that shines in through the trees (which you can't quite see in this picture due to the overcast) lights up not only the brick but also the greenery surrounding the house.
