When I was looking for pictures of the silver house I just wrote about, another house caught my eye. There are a lot of these “shingle cottages” in the area where I grew up, including the house where my family lived for 30 years.
This house could just as easily be in Nantucket, or along the North-east coast somewhere, as where it is in the middle of Baltimore City. 
The front hall with a small alcove
From the alcove looking out. I’d say that the woodwork on the walls is probably original.
Living room with a fireplace, french doors, hardwood floors and window seats. Nothing wrong there.
What fresh hell is this? As if the floors didn’t have enough orange in them, the walls are rather blazing. And the gold trim, EEK! But there is a swinging door, probably to a butler’s pantry, and a working fireplace in the dining room, so some points have been added back.
I am not sure what to say about the kitchen. Any ideas?
This seems to be the room off the kitchen – I am guessing it’s a den. Nothing a good coat of the right white paint wouldn’t remedy.
The kitchen wallpaper extends to the powder room.
I am guessing that this is the master bedroom. I’d love a fireplace and a windowseat in my bedroom.
And leaded glass windows! I’d be right here with a stack of books next to me!
I am not certain whether this is a bedroom or a dressing room. What do you think?
There are several additional bedrooms, and I will spare you from seeing the bathrooms. Luckily, there’s a lovely and lush shade garden surrounding this house
All in all, it’s a pretty nice house with great bones and some great spaces. It just needs a bit lot of paint. More information is here.
