History of the Spanish-Style Home
 
Although Spanish-Style homes are not very common in the Nashville area, I have always been an admirer of these particular designs. Spanish-style homes are mainly popular in the western region of the country, most prevalent in California, Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico. They are also revered in Florida and Texas. The architectural design originated in the elaborate buildings of 17th and 18th century Spain. 
 
When people refer to Spanish-Style homes they usually correlate them with several characteristics:
 
·        Flat or gently sloped red or deep brown tiled roofs

How Your Smartphone Can Control Your Home
 
We live in a digital world. Technology has advanced astronomically in the past decade, especially within the last 6 years when Apple put out the world’s most superior smartphone, The iPhone.

nashville real estate: History of the Victorian Style Home - 07/22/13 04:09 AM
History of the Victorian Style Home 

 
The first thing that comes to my mind when I think about Victorian Style homes is the word “decorative”. They are aesthetically ornamental. Their roofs are typically steeply pitched which contributes to what I think is quite elegant. This deems appropriate being that this style of architecture was introduced in Great Britain during the astute and elegant Queen Victoria’s rein from 1837 to 1901. However, many elements that are better known to be “Victorian” did not become popular until later in Queen Victoria’s reign. The styles often included interpretations and revivals of historic … (1 comments)
