Man, I love that house. What Architectural design would you call it?

That's a good question!
The front doors are modeled after the gates of Italian vineyard.
Throughout the house there is a motif of vineyards, grapes, grape leaves and grapevines, as well as acanthus leafs.

I guess I would say it has Tuscan influences.
Here's how it looks from the street:

Here's a close-up of the front doors:
You can't see it in that picture, but that barelled ceiling is faux-painted to look like plaster cracking off of bricks, with water stains on the plaster.
Very cool the way it was done.

Here's a shot of my living room.
Note the hand painted mural on the wall.
This was modeled after an actual ruin outside of Tuscany.
