Thanks to degenezijde for sending this classy 1937 renovated Art Nouveau home in Oudenaarde, Belgium. 5bds, 3ba, €698,000 / $762K

Entrance hall with original tile.

A foyer opens out to a cozy, light-filled living room.

The kitchen is a modern black & white with double round sinks, and an opalescent tile backsplash. Classic white Shaker cabinets are interspersed with contemporary glass front cabinets that resemble open shelving, but protect it behind closed doors. Love that idea.

The kitchen has a generously sized eat-in space with doors that open directly to a patio with a pergola.

In the front of the building, the original windows w/colored glass panes are still intact and beautifully appear in the bedrooms. It would look so great decorating them in Art Nouveau style and picking up the colors of the glass.

I don't normally do this, but I've never had an Art Nouveau home before. Can you picture this wallpaper on a feature wall? Look at how the colors tie in with the window.

This bedroom is a little larger and has different style windows with a storage unit that could also be a window seat. Art Nouveau style is fancy and classy, this place needs to ditch the straight lined, bland white modern style.

They did a modern black & white bath.

An Art Nouveau tile backsplash would glam it up.

A new primary bedroom is in the attic, has beautiful pitched beamed ceilings, built-in floating night tables, a modern fireplace, and an en-suite bath.

Beautiful yard surrounded by a private brick wall. And, look at the cute little shed.

There's even a patio around a pond. What a great home. So much potential for making it an Art Nouveau showplace.

VILLA BOULEAU

Not every abandoned house I encounter still has all the furniture. While this may be disappointing to some, I often prefer it. No vandalism, no pillaging, no staging… Just beautiful architecture. Villa Bouleau is one of those houses that has been completely emptied.

Apart from the fact that it dates from the beginning of the twentieth century and that it is included in the inventory of historic gardens and parks in Flanders, little or nothing can be found out about this beautiful eclectic villa with a cottage appearance.

An annex attached to the back of the villa houses a pharmacy, several examination rooms and a waiting area, which indicates a medical function. Perhaps a group practice of general practitioners?

The villa itself was completely emptied. This provides a beautiful view of the architectural elements of the building, including the beautiful stucco, the marble mantelpieces and the beautiful ceiling painting.
