What style

Queen Anne Painted Lady with lots of fishscale, gingerbread, huge turret(s), stained glass windows--at least one of them round, and a giant porch. Conservatory a must also.
 

I guess my home would be considered Cape Cod, I inherited many Asian pieces from my aunt so much of my house is decorated in this style, I'm happy with it.

Me three!!!! I'd have royal purple detailing on the gingerbread.
 
Aesthetically, I like "ginger bread' Alpine type houses. I've lived in this Cape Cod for over forty years. Did a wonderful job sheltering us and our kids and grandkids when circumstances called for it over the years. Not for the physically challenged! All alone now. If, I could wave a magic wand, I would turn it into a Ranch in an instant.
 
Shalimar, mostly just vases, silk embroidered pictures and mirrors with oriental frames...I've added to my collection over the years, but it is nothing really elaborate or expensive.
 
Jacke, I never meant to come across as a decor whore. Lolol. It all sounds wonderful, particularly the vases, and mirrors.I don't

have expensive stuff in my home, but I enjoy what I have collected. Sounds to me as if you home has been carefully

created with patience and love--I wish I could take a peek at the atmosphere--warm and tranquil I bet!
 
I now have a small two bedroom ranch with a finished basement. Ideally, I would like a three bedroom ranch with enough space to have my laundry room, etc. all of the same floor without having to go downstairs.

Hi Underock, I was wondering where you were! Is it possible for you to install an elevator or one of those little chairs that takes you up and down stairs?

Not really an option. Very narrow stairs. I only live on the lower level anyway. Always have. Right now my grandson is up there, but he's only here four days during the week and teaches physics, so not able to help much with the house. When he gets married in August, upstairs will be just so much wasted space.
 
My house here in the UK is Craftsman style....but I would prefer a Big Ranch style all on one floor...

My second home on the continent is a triplex with an underbuild...


I would honestly really hate to have a Big Old Victorian property...waaay too much work involved to keep it up to the standard which would suit me..
