Think you might be able to guess the location of this home? There’s a Rice Design Alliance membership in it for ya!
Yep, the RDA will provide a free one-year individual membership to the player who wins this week’s Neighborhood Guessing Game. What happens if more than one of you guesses the correct neighborhood? The prize will go to the player who provided the best explanation for his or her guess.
If you already know this property, or if you come across the listing, don’t blab about it and ruin the game for everyone else. Instead, send Swamplot a link to the listing; then post a convincing but wrong guess. If you do this well, you’ll get special recognition when the winner is announced. And if nobody guesses the correct neighborhood, that winner could be you!
Just a few more pictures to pore over:








Comment of the Day: The Island Home
“. . . In my home we use the island for kids art and crafts, having guests for drinks and or dinner, homework and home working, watching tv, etc. All this on top of the normal eating and food prep duties. In this way the island and the kitchen in general are taking the place of rooms such as a dining room, office, library etc that might have been included in an older home. In that case I think a good argument can be made that the room and the island can be expanded to fill some of the space that would have been taken up by those now obsolete rooms.” [Jimbo, commenting on Island Living: Inside the West U Cottage That Didn’t Get Away]
