“This is where we live,” Jill Flanagan said several times as we walked around her house. She loves that they enjoy spending time together, just living and making everyday memories as a family. Honestly, I’m not sure a higher compliment could be paid to the design or style of a home because ultimately that is the purpose of our houses… to live… to invite us in and make us comfortable. The Flanagan home is welcoming from the moment you pull into the driveway until the moment you leave. The modern French Country style is composed of brick. Through the use of a heavy mortar smear and an elegant archway, the central section of the house draws your eye straight to the metal front door. The classic lines of the exterior, mixed with a more modern color palette and building techniques, have a way of making the home seem both
brand new and like it could have been there for years. This timeless quality is one of the most charming things about this house. Inside, you are met by a clean style that is not so contemporary that it’s stark. In contrast, the decor is largely neutral with pops of color and just the right use of textures to make you feel at home. Classic, clean lines in the furniture are offset by textured rugs with simple geometric patterns and bold colors. The art on the walls is contemporary, also boasting playful use of color. A favorite piece in the home is an 84 x 60 inch original Tyler Arnold painting of golf champion Tiger Woods. It hangs in the family’s oldest son’s room in honor of his love for the game. As in most homes, each family member has a particular part of the house they gravitate toward. Thirteen-year-old Luke gave
