This house is for sale in my neighborhood - it's on Riverside, where the rich folk live (obviously not my side of the hood)! Definitely a dream house, one I've ALWAYS loved. 8 bedrooms! Guess what? Josh and I have started playing the lottery for this baby! Last night I dreamed I won 750,000 dollars... I know what I'd do with it if I did!

I am madly in love with the kitchen in this house - the cabinets, the counters, the hardware - THE STOVE! *drool*

Yesterday we went to Lebanon to look at this house:

It wasn't an open house, but we wanted to see where it was since it's out of our 'target' Lebanon neighborhood. Well, it's WAY out in the country. Outside of the Lebanon City Limits, even. And the sunroom needs to be torn down - the rest of ( Read more... )

BK just left to run some errands, and also to go scope out some neighborhoods. Yeah, I am too tired to go. That shows ya how tired I am. He was like "let's go look at houses!" and my reply was "No thanks. You go ahead." So he did. He took his camera, though, in case he sees something inspiring. I could use the alone time, I plan on napping here in ( Read more... )

Yesterday, there were a ton (like 7 or so) open houses in that new "Historic Replica" neighborhood. The houses are SO CUTE from the outside, but so disappointing on the inside. I want to like them, I really do, but every time I actually go in one, I just feel let down. BK, ever the optomist, really likes it over there. So we went in every one that ( Read more... )

I was toying with the idea of making my own christmas cards this year (and then I got the new issue of Martha Stewart Living which had ideas for homemade cards - how I love that woman!), but today I checked the Anne Taintor site and she has a bunch of Holiday cards out.  I think I'll get about 3 different designs (because I can't choose just one)  ( Read more... )
