The House Milk House Tour
Since we showed our SketchUp house, I’ve been hard at work formatting the actual photos of our house. Not only am I a terrible photographer with a mediocre camera, but most of the rooms in our home get minimal light. I took photos before we put the furniture in so you can get a better idea of the layout of the rooms. I’ve also included a floorplan, courtesy of Jordan’s improving SketchUp skills.
So without further ado, please take a tour of my house:
In the front of the house there is a fence around a slate patio that we plan on removing. The landscaping is a bit overgrown, but we don’t think we’ll have time to get to that until at least next year. We have tons of ideas when it comes to landscaping and we have some fantastic neighbors who are really knowledgeable about modern plants requiring little maintenance that will grow well in our climate.
In addition, as we mentioned in a previous House Milk post, the exterior color scheme of the house isn’t really our cup of tea. Moreover, the white vinyl horizontal siding that is on the house now was put on in the 1980s (we think) but the original siding was vertical. We know that the original siding is still intact hiding underneath the vinyl, but we’re not sure what kind of condition it’s in. We hope it’s salvageable so we can restore it.
I really love the entrance. Don’t you think it has so much potential?
The Cliff May-esque windows are my most favorite part of the house. They let in tons of natural light. As soon as I saw them, I was sold.

I’m just finishing up repainting my entire house to sell and I’m really pleased with the off-white color my stager went with. It’s “Cloud White” by Benjamin Moore – and let me also say that their Aura line of paint is an absolute dream to work with. We covered some really dark pink, blue and bright orange walls in just two coats. We did our trim in “Oxford White”, just a very subtle difference between the walls and the trim. I’m going to be using Cloud White in our nursery for sure – baby expected in November!
Congrats – our baby comes in November too!
I love your house! That room would be the reason I would have bought it too.
Beautiful house!
I could photograph it even better for you
