Okay, this house is as white & beige as can be, but let's look at it as a blank slate and appreciate the original architecture. It's a fairly rare 1939 Moderne home, located in Austin, Texas. 3bds, 2ba, $1.185M. I'm kind of surprised at the price, TBH. Anyway...
This is an actual 1939 home color guide - look at the cracks in the paint samples.
Look at how different and beautiful the fireplace is, and how the arched ceiling has uplighting.
I wonder if that glass door is original.
Small dining room with a tray ceiling- that would really pop with some color.
The kitchen is a nice size and the cabinets look original. The floor looks original, also.
Look at the little desk. And, the stainless steel backsplash MAY be authentic, but more than likely, it would be laminate.
Instead of a dining room, they may have opened this up and put in a kitchen counter to give it a family room like a modern open concept layout.
I think that at least part of it was a dining room b/c of the double doors that open to the patio.
The primary bedroom is lovely.
The tile is so pristine- it must've at least been regrouted. Look at the peeling on the mirror- that's original.
What a sweet bedroom with angels on the ceiling.
The 2nd bath is also very nice. That has to be an original vanity.
Here's a lovely sunroom. I would do this in a retro tropical style.
The 3rd bd. is a home office.
I wonder what that structure on the roof is- they don't show it. Could it be that sunroom? Maybe it is. That would be so cool. I wish they showed how to get up there.
It has a large yard.
The garage was converted into a music studio and office.
I guess if the new buyers want to, they can change it back, but they would have to take down the walls.

This is beautiful. It’s an elegant 1933 house in San Francisco, California with 3bd. 1.5ba. and is $1.595M.
Nice big entrance foyer. Beautifully detailed ceiling and original light fixture- the style of the 30s was still Art Deco, but called Moderne.
Rich dark woods, moderne, rather than rustic, ceiling beams, and a corner fireplace. Like how they painted the chimney dark gray for contrast.
The dining room is bright, has a different ceiling pattern that looks painted on, and beautiful original doors.
The dining room opens to this wonderful patio in the middle of the house.
Sunny little breakfast room.
The kitchen isn’t huge, but it’s roomy enough. I wonder why there’s no exhaust over the stove, though.
The rounded hallway is very Art Deco.
Lovely main bd. This home is so filled with light.
Love the original tile in the bath.
This could actually be a main bd., also.
Isn’t the family room amazing? And, it has a bar plus a fireplace.
They have it set up as an extra bd., but it’s not meant to be one.
It does, however, fit in nicely at the end of the room that opens to the garden.
The stairs are lovely. It doesn’t look like it, but this is the lower level of the home.
And, here is the 1/2 bath.
Very nice laundry room with a sink and folding table.
Isn’t the garden pretty? I like the upper patio.
The garage is so neat and has lots of storage.
