This is a gorgeous historic 1917 home in Omaha, NE, but there's something about it that would make me feel "uncomfortable" about being there at night. 10bds, 7ba, $1.5M.

Not a bad entrance hall, and it's all original. The house is original, all the wood is the same, dark stain, not painted over.

Very formal sitting room.

Plus a sunny parlor.

The dining room is right off the main hall. They cleverly incorporated gray in the carpets, fabrics and wall coverings. I guess it's not as bad as solid gray, but everyone seems compelled to use gray in order to sell. Lovely light fixture looks original.

Lots of cabinets in the very white kitchen. $1.5M and the counters are laminate. Gray tile backsplash.

It's an eat-in kitchen with room for a table.

There's a nice big pantry. Odd, that they would put quartz counters in the pantry and not the kitchen.

Guest powder room behind the stairs in the main hall. Cute and vintage.

Lovely original millwork.

Sitting room w/a rooftop terrace.

There's a full bath off the sitting room.

Now, we're getting into solid gray walls in the bedrooms. I am so over this gray nonsense.

This one has an amazing enclosed wall of shelves.

The primary bedroom has a beautiful fireplace and moldings. All gray though, and I doubt if that was the color of the period.

The en-suite has lovely marble.

They made this small room with a door to the terrace, a dressing room.

The attic is finished with more bedrooms.

Full bath up here w/a cute little tub.

.70 acre lot and there's an apt. above the garage (carriage house).

It's a very nice 2 bd. apt.

Beautifully preserved historic home in modern gray.

"A TRADITIONAL ITALIAN KITCHEN

Signor Giovanni, likes to eat outside, but a true Italian, as he is, likes to cook for his guests also, so he wish to design his kitchen around the stove and his ample wine collection. The kitchen he has to work with is large, since it covers most of the first floor of his villa. It is also an above ground basement, like most of the kitchens in its time, to preserve the coolness.

Entry door must be located near the staircase and you can also add one to access the pantry or into the garden outside. The designers must take into account that the red walls are buried into the ground, so can only have privacy windows."

Required:

Decorative, architecturally interesting kitchen set, homey/cozy (mix of cool/warm tones), customized hood above the stove, patterned backsplash, large stove and island, solid island chairs facing the stove, wine bar, wooden floors, beams, and columns." The inspiration images were varied, but I immediately thought of a set on MTS that would be perfect for this challenge.

As you can see I made sure to decorate the outside INTENSELY. Unfortunately, due to the windows I chose you don't see as much as I'd like. I couldn't justify including an image of just the view.

Isn't this set PERFECT? I wish there were more recolors because the cream wasn't my first choice (I wanted all dark woods) but I do think it at least added some balance to the overall color scheme. I picked simple white marble for the walls in this area as the backsplash was built into the custom hood.

There's plenty of plants, a cheeky fishvase, and a little bit of wine set out. Lots of clear jars to make cooking easier as you can see the ingredients.

From another angle you can see the huge pan holder on the ceiling, along with the patterned ceiling, the wooden floors, and the heavy dark wood chairs finished with leather.

I really love this wine wall. I figured that Signor Giovanni wouldn't just have wine at the official wine bar section of the room, but would also display his more treasured bottles like art for others to appreciate and admire. The side through the archway (which is a deco piece, not a wall!) just leads to a bit of storage as well as a sink. I like the idea that originally that was the kitchen and it has since been expanded with all of the windows so Signor Giovanni can properly admire his garden.

It's a lovely view, after all. You can see just a hint of the seating area outside. I included art in almost every frame because I felt like it was important to Signor Giovanni, and the mirror mimics the windows but allowed me to take some out so it wasn't a solid wall of windows.

Lastly, the wine bar! I figured simple was best and used the maxis wine bar, though there's also hanging glasses and more bottles stored above. I like to think Guidry is a distant, scandalous relative.

You can also see the coffee setup Signor Giovanni has because, well, the Italians I know are all very big into proper coffee.

I'm glad I made it through - seeing the other entries I feel like they're all so much cleaner and more like sets than homes. They're beautiful. I always end up injecting a bit of humor into my decorated spaces, like the telephone mirror, the fish, and the monkeys here.

BONUS:

The yard you basically can't see but dammit I decorated it!

I made up my mind about my kitchen!

Upon a very philosophical discussion with my best friend (sitting on the couch and staring at my kitchen for a solid half hour)

We came to the following conclusions:

1. "It's not as obnoxious as I thought"

2. THE CABINETS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM. THE COUNTER AND BACKSPLASH ARE 🥳🥳🥳🥳

Which means:

I'm gonna change the handles of the cabinets because that's an easy fix and they are bothering me

I'm gonna wrap the countertop and backsplash with pink marble contact paper and hope for the best lmao

Also I realized I probably never showed you guys my actual kitchen???
