		<description><![CDATA[I feel quite lucky photographing homes for a living for two reasons, one because I love photography and two, I love homes. Once in a while I am lucky enough to be able to photograph an amazing property by chance--This was one of those times.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3057" title="Front" src="http://www.lookiloos.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/IMG_8275-550x366.jpg" alt="Front" width="550" height="366" />I love Victorian architecture from the outside. The front porches and the intricate detail work creating amazing patterns that keep your eyes mesmerized, but on the inside I&#8217;ve felt they can be a bit dowdy and dark. Until now. This Victorian has been remodeled and  has a wonderful Metropolitan Home feel throughout.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3058" title="Casual Dining" src="http://www.lookiloos.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/IMG_8214-550x366.jpg" alt="Casual Dining" width="550" height="366" /></p>
<p>There were so many features I absolutely fell in love with. To start with the light fixtures over the casual dining table.  The homeowner told me she got them from flea market sale and that they had come from a See&#8217;s candy factory.  The shape is perfect, but the price was spectacular&#8211; $15 each!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3059" title="Artist Studio" src="http://www.lookiloos.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/IMG_8219-550x366.jpg" alt="Artist Studio" width="550" height="366" /></p>
<p>Now of course another favorite was the artist studio.  My family might never see me again!  The rustic stone walls and the skylights just make you want to stop, stay and create.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3060" title="IMG_8259" src="http://www.lookiloos.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/IMG_8259-550x366.jpg" alt="IMG_8259" width="550" height="366" /></p>
<p>The master suite was truly an escape with a large window seat and views of the city.  The master bath had all the bells and whistles from the marble counters to the elaborate dual sinks&#8211;nothing was left behind.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3064" title="IMG_8265" src="http://www.lookiloos.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/IMG_8265-550x366.jpg" alt="IMG_8265" width="550" height="366" /></p>
<p>And, lastly one of my favorites had to be the guest bath The mirror over the vanity matched the plaster cut-out over the shower and toilet.  This remodeled home had so much thought put into the details. And,  I&#8217;m so glad they did!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3063" title="Victorian Guest Bath" src="http://www.lookiloos.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Victorian-Guest-Bath.jpg" alt="Victorian Guest Bath" width="550" height="366" /></p>
