Yes, those blue walls were a surprise to see when the show first aired in 2009. I thought the blue was darker than it appears in this picture.

It is like watching older episodes of "Friends" and seeing some of the cutting edge wall colors. The character Ross had brown walls years before it was popular. Monica's purple walls never caught on.

That's funny -- I don't think about it any more but when I first started watching MF, I always wished they'd toned down that blue a bit! But I'm not a blue lover in general. I do like a lot of things about their house, though.

I just started watching Modern Family too! I didn't know what I was missing. Really enjoying it.

Here's the earlier thread about Modern Family house

I caught a glimpse of a living room on "Back in the Game" and am ready to move it. The kitchen on that show, not so much.

It's the three houses I enjoy noticing on that show and how they are supposed to reflect the different personalities who occupy them. The Dunphy's is a standard current version of the picket cottage and very conventional, reflecting her mostly, not him (who surprised her by saying he'd make the living room a showcase for magic if she dropped dead. :)

My favorite architecturally is the two guy's, although not being two guys I'd have to find a way to get a bunch of sunshine in there. Maybe all windows face north... In that case, it'd be Phil's, cute as Claire's is from outside.
