Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. However, even if two people wear the same item, have the same furniture, they inevitably put everything else together differently: different handbag, necklace, lamps cushions, accent.If you are not sure of yourself. By all means go ahead and imitate. It will soon evolve into something you like as you gain confidence in what you like and what you learn you don't like

Thanks Susan. I would love to get feedback here from the Houzz community on butterfly roof construction. I know that flashing the valley will be critical to say the least. Whoever does the roof has to have 1. Skill 3. Architectural specs to follow 2. Guaranteed work. How do they hold up in a climate such as yours which is sub-tropical? It's a big project so you will need to be confident in the outcome.

I would research the heck out of construction techniques so as to be as informed as possible so that you are able to have a better dialog with the roofer when the time comes http://www.builderbill-diy-help.com/box-gutter.html

Oh wow, it looks fantastic! The black looks so striking against the white, not too sharp at all. Congratulations on the house, you must be very excited to move in. :)

Considering my house is upstairs, my home would be useless for when I'm old. Absolutely useless. There's no shower downstairs either so I'd have to install one of those elevators that help you go up the stairs.
