Tudor-Style Houses

My partner and I are dreaming about one day moving out of a condo and into a house.  We plan to buy an older home and renovate it from top to bottom.  The style of house we are drawn to are mostly Tudor Houses and Colonial Houses.  I have compiled my favourite photos of Tudor Houses.  I prefer the base colour to be darker, rather than white with dark brown trim because I think the latter looks outdated.  In my opinion, with a coat of paint, stone or brick over the white a tudor home is immediately modernised.
