Houzz Tour: A new assisted living building with lots of Vintage Character - For those who love design and architecture, looking at some homes is something like watching rugged Greek islands, a range rolling mountain West or the point where the Hawaiian white sand meets the deep blue of the Pacific ocean - they are so beautiful that it hurts. Of course, no manmade structure is a real match for the majesty of the natural world, but some of them come pretty close. A prime example is the house wine country California. It is a new home, but its classical details, rustic materials and perfect location make it a timeless beauty.

given the new house-as-old-house mentality, the team installed a wood stove. "In a very old country house, this may be what you have to heat, no fire, said Davin.
Upholstered chairs are grouped around a coffee table in weathered wood, which probably started life as a farmhouse table. Davin had shortened legs to make it fit for the service of the show.

You would be hard to identify this as a new home just watching the . Stone walls, rustic wooden doors and old olive trees growing in front (landscape architect Mike Lucas Sevillano saved centenarians trees of Fresno orchard which was dismantled) make it seem timeless. The owners wanted it that way, and were inspired by the centuries-old farmhouses that dot the French countryside. Vineyards surrounding the property complete the picture.

The other end of the room is dominated by a spectacular view, and Davin did not want the decor to get in the way. She selected a long drape's style table (a long, narrow table that was used to cut tissue in turn-of-the-century costume factories). Its metal legs are there, but not appear there. The same goes for skinny metal chairs with perforated back that keep the eye on its way to the hills and vineyards that wind on them.
