Italianate vs Spanish

So to continue the discussion of style of homes I decided to discuss the difference between Italianate and Spanish

An Italianate style house, you automatically picture Italy don't you. We in Riverside don't have many, in fact I only know of 1. Tall, simple lines, yet elegant. Flat roofs

Compared to a Spanish style. Tile roofs with flowing lines. Front doors are usually think wood doors with iron work.

This of course is the simple version and of course just my opinion There are so much more to all styles of houses, and so much more that makes up a home than a style. The way each of the houses function as a home make them glow with a character all their own. Embrace the style of house that you own and enhance it with yours.
