One day, several months ago, I showed our plans to our friend who jokingly said, "that looks like a barn"! I quickly assured him that it wasn't and said it was a gambrel roof line, DUH! (BTW, my friend's wife knows that I am blogging about her husband's unique choice of words.)
Since we will be the "wild child" in a neighborhood of Tudors and Spanish Colonials, I would like to post some Gambrel roof line "cuteness" to reassure my future neighbors, that indeed, the Gray's will NOT be building Hollywood's first residential barn.
Yay. fun blog and good taste in rooflines
ReplyDeleteNot all houses with a gambrel roof look like barns; it usually depends on the design of the house. By the way, these are very lovely homes. :) The second picture is definitely my favorite. I love its red front door and stone wall! Thanks for sharing these. You just gave me an idea for my dream home.

Lovely inspirations, Susan! But what's best with gambrel roof is that it has many different lines. So, even if you use that one house in Birmingham as a model, you can still design yours in a way that it resembles the Gray's and not any other house. :)
