Maybe i'm waiting for something that will never happen and it's a lost cause. It's certainly looking that way.]]>Jun 21st 2007 5:21AMhttp://www.luxist.com/2007/06/20/lhermitage-estate-of-the-day/http://www.luxist.com/2007/06/20/lhermitage-estate-of-the-day/
And I ENJOY the estates that Diedre shows us. While they certainly don't all suit my tastes, I'm glad she takes time to show variety instead of the same old thing.]]>Jun 22nd 2007 2:50AMhttp://www.luxist.com/2007/06/20/lhermitage-estate-of-the-day/http://www.luxist.com/2007/06/20/lhermitage-estate-of-the-day/
The 1990's era of cathedral ceilings, row upon row of windows and ugly exterior paint colors [is that SW Adobe meets Tuscany?] are gone for good reason. The staircase looks cheap and a poor clone of good architecture found in old Virginia homes.

It is sad that so many people see this bland, big architecture and thinking somehow it conveys "I'm important" or "I have taste" - yet only a hack architect would style a house like this.]]>Jun 25th 2007 4:35PM
