The other day, I was perusing Houston real estate listings for fun and came across two new homes that were very similar in their layout, but very different in style. Both of these homes are part of a new, exclusive enclave called Upper Kirby Estates, located in what Houstonians refer to as “inside the loop”, or the heart of the city. Both homes are 5,000 square feet and they both share a $1,395,000 price tag. So, considering the fact that they are nearly identical in many ways, it comes down to taste. Which would you choose: the first house or the second house? Both homes are really lovely, but if you’ve read La Dolce Vita long enough, you can probably guess which home gets my vote.
So, which home gets your vote?

Number two, for sure. Brighter, a bit more contemporary and always a fan of white cabinetry.
Modern classic, for sure! Love the subway tile in the kitchen and just how clean and white everything is. It's a perfect blank slate for all the furniture.
right across the street from the Fab Flea - i'll take the Fab Flea actually. then #1. love this place but it is totally overpriced, no?
I would choose #2, Modern Class. I would have to change the light fixture in the Master and I like a kitchen island that is one level and a clean surface, ie: no sink!!
#2. Love it.
I really like house #2 best. It seemed a little more open.
hi love - for some reason ur page has been giving me problems the last few weeks - it never wants to load .. ANYWAY
#2 over #1 for sure!

Modern Class thru and thru!!! I can't even imagine living in a house that big. Would be fun to help someone shop for though.
I would absolutely dive into house number two.
The first is certainly a quality build, but the second speaks much more to a sophisticated, uptown and yet youthful aesthetic.
Oh the things I would do to those rooms!
Two more reasons why Houston makes me happy ;)
Cheers, Alcira

Both houses are gorgeous! I love love LOVE the second one... I vote #2 :)
#2 for me! Fun game!
uh- hands down #2... wait, am I right- can we still be friends? Is this a trick question? ;)
Hands down. House no. 2!
Number Two! One is nice, but definitely not my style (though my mom would be ALL over it).
No 2 for me. Love all the white and cream. Very pretty!Fiona
Oh number two, hands down for me. Hugs!
I live in Houston too, and I loooove the Upper Kirby area! So many beautiful homes! Honestly, I have no idea which I would choose- both are awesome! (:
I would choose number 2. Love that style!

I am modern classic all the way. House #2 for me please. My kitchen is similar to this (on a way smaller scale), white cabinets and white subway tile, classic. I'll take it:)

I'll always choose the modern classic so definitely #2. Love the kitchen, love the bathroom and the beautiful hardwoods. Fun post!
#2 for me. Interesting to see both!
Surprisingly, I actually like the modern take on this great house. I surprised myself. I guess my taste are maturing too!
#2! no contest.
#2!!!
Modern classic! for sure!!!!!
Love them both! My now husband used to live in that area when we were dating! Boy has it changed!!!
I have shown these homes (I'm a Realtor in Houston) and absolutely love both... and the whole concept of the development. Plus, it's next door to one of the city's best farmers' markets. Unfortunately, the other 9 slated homes are on hold.
Didn't even have to THINK about it... #2!!!! You? #2!!
i think #1, but soften the white paint job on the outside... Um - do you know how much this would go for in LA?? I see myself moving to Texas!
#2 - MINUS the wall to wall carpet. That kitchen and living room are so beautiful!
Alaina
#2. hands down.
Oh my goodness, there is no question #2 is gorgeous on the inside! But but but...why do these houses look like ugly convention centers on the outside? Maybe it is the pics or just me but YARG.
Oh my GOSH. I could never choose!!!
Just found your blog, and I LOVE IT!!!
Modern Classic for me, please! It's interesting to see what's available in our city.
I'm just catching up on all my blogs from being gone. I love #2 because I like white anything and white kitchens and baths are my favorite. Anything in carera marble. However, in house one I do love the the first three pics - love the hallway, living room but don't care for the bathrooms. Dark wood cabinets are not my thing - beautiful homes!
