While visiting the dau in Tampa, we took the pup for a stroll down a street lined with classic and restored to perfection homes and bungalows, close by to her latest residence in Palma Ceia. Click on the photos for a larger example and to see all the wonderful detail.
This was the dau's favorite, by far. Love the coral door and cushions. Love that the mail is delivered through a slot in the entrance...tres charming!
Porch swing, plantation shutters, brick veranda, existing and preserved oaks.
Lovely fanlight above the door and sidelights. Perfectly landscaped for minimal upkeep. Captain's walk on first floor roofing. Clerestory window above.
Lovely corbels under the detailed portico.
Unique garage doors
Again, a gorgeous fanlight and sidelights. Lantern suspended in the carport. Gas-lighted lanterns flanking the front entrance. Upstairs bay window.
Canopy road
Trellis surrounding the front door with what looks to be a jasmine training upward.
Fabulous brick walkway, columned portico, gas lit lanterns.
Loved the tree cut-outs on the shutters
This home had a large planting of Boston ferns in a portion of the front space...just amazing.
Tree-lined street with sidewalks on both sides of the street. So quaint.
Many of these houses had plantation shutters only on the bottom half of the window to allow plenty of light, though provide privacy to its inhabitants.
