Our relatives showed us around the new box they had built, and although I was only 8 I said I wanted to see the real house and pointed to the 3 story yellow brick farmhouse with gingerbread trim that sat abandoned behind their new ugly house. I was born in the wrong era. These houses are gorgeous! When I first moved to Victoria, I intended to buy an old house and fix it up. I was able to take the money I would have spent on renovations and use it to decorate my home instead. Denise, Did you have a local builder build your new old house?
Where did you get a plan? Kit houses? They are stunning! I want to live in New England just because they have some of the prettiest homes in the US. That would be a dream come true!
Thanks for sharing Judy! XOXO, Rachel. I like them, especially the Burgess one. There is a fabulous community like that in my county, Vickery. To each and every home! I could move right in to any one of them — — although I like the white kitchens better than the others. The built in bookcases and hutches, the fireplace in the kitchen — — heaven!
What beautiful houses! Too bad those kit homes are too expensive to buy and build. Yes, really lovely — all of them.

My favorite interior is that blue color in the Augustine Parker house. Yes that blue color on the walls is gorgeous!!! I would love to find an old house and renovate but in my area even the old fixer uppers are too expensive and friends who do have them say they are constantly fixing things. I say this is a great alternative! With the exception of the Nickerson house none of them seem to have the worst feature of modern home design…the big, ugly, front-facing garage. Just lovely, especially the yellow one with the wrap-around porch.
Such wonderful interior detailing, too. In our family built a kit home purchased from Kaufman and Broad. The house kit came with all the individual pieces to construct our four bedroom, one and a half bathroom house. The kit had literally everything from nails to trim, to cabinets to drywall to roof shingles…everything. I did a little research and it looks like the company, although still in existance, no longer sells these particular kits.
Absolutely stunning! We have kits homes in Australia, but not as Gorgeous as these!

- “New-Old” Houses by Connor Homes in Vermont?
Wow, so jealous. Fantastic designs, very inviting homes! Not sure which one would be my favorite. Many of my friends think we are crazy to keep buying old houses that need everything. These seem to have everything! I love the concept of kits too. I believe in New England, especially Vermont, barns were attached to houses so one could attend to the animals in winter without having to constantly shovel a path to the barn through the snow.

That is because Vermont is awesome. Probably because there are so many great old examples to work from. For me, only a truly old house. But these people look like they are building the beautiful old houses of the future. Wish someone would do that with Victorian cottages again. These are gorgeous…and to think they were ordered.. I pinned the photo of that lovely kitchen cabinet. Hope you are having a fun 4th!
That wraparound veranda on the EG house is divine, as is the fireplace and wood oven in the kitchen! I am so wanting a house with a wrap around porch…. WOW Julia how do you choose….. They are all dreamy. Love The Rebecca Leland. Thank you for sharing this was wonderful. Hope you guys had a great 4TH July.
Regards Esther from Sydney. PS have you ever watched a show called Royal Pains some of the homes featured in this show beautiful….. This was a great way to wake up! Thanks for this post…. These are stunning. All the charm of vintage colonials, but with updated features? This builder is a genius. I would move NOW….
So amazing! Even the tiniest details are perfection! Contractors take note: THIS is how we want our homes to look.
Old house, new house: which is the better investment?

Oversized designs are generally better than undersized, for example in pendant lighting — some of the most impressive schemes combine contemporary seating with vintage chandeliers and classical mirrors. Mixing different styles within the same scheme works if there is a balance between the numbers of pieces used. For example, one Georgian sideboard thrown in with a few Chinese and contemporary pieces will stand out for the wrong reasons.
If you have inherited a vintage piece of furniture, helping it to fit in can be as easy as finding a few accessories from the same era to tie it in. While the overall look of the room is important, a successful eclectic space is made up of smaller vignettes. The way you use your items in the space is equally as significant as the actual item.
An effective eclectic scheme should be theatrical in style.
