Sorry for another blogging break. I have the best of intentions, but life just gets so hectic. We have been busy bees at work and especially at home (more to come on that).
My husband and many of our friends often tell me I missed my calling in real estate. But one of the things I have learned as I have gotten older is you can still have hobbies and enjoy the things you love, without making it your living. Real estate is just one of those things - it's a hobby, not my idea of a livelihood though.
With us in the thrust of the real estate market's busiest season, I often find myself wandering through MLS listings online.
This gorgeous Georgian beauty was Contingent for several weeks and then just became Active again. Naturally I immediately emailed it to Khaner and didn't get a ton of response.
I literally envision myself in this house (don't get me wrong, love my house), and all of the small changes that would make it ours.
 |
| Can you say curb appeal? |
 |
| This foyer - I can stare at it all day. My plan would be to stain all the hardwoods and stairs to give more of a feel of the banister, and offset the beautiful white trim work |
 |
| Looks like an ad in House Beautiful, right? I even don't mind the paint. The french doors and large windows just make me melt |
 |
| I have always loved red in a dining room, but it has to be a certain shade, and I think they have nailed it. I would add drapes for additional drama. |
 |
| When do you see homes these days with such gorgeous sliding doors? |
 |
| The caveat - the kitchen. The bad news is it looks like the owners didn't know what to do with it. The good news is there is plenty of space to work with in a transformation. |
 |
| I wonder if the middle wall is load bearing? |
 |
| I wouldn't mind having this painted white and using it as a butler's pantry-type area. Regular cabinets would have to be incorporated somewhere - you can't have everything exposed. |
 |
| A little girl's dream bedroom. |
 |
| Built in storage! |
 |
| Adore the original tub and tile |
 |
| Beautiful master |
 |
| Wainscoating is gorgeous |
 |
| Khaner, look, your very own study away from me |
 |
| That subway tile!! |
 |
| Can you envision nights out here? |
 |
| It has my name written all over it! |
 |
| Welcome friends! |
 |
| This banister! |
You can't tell me it's not a gorgeous house - I better get back to work so we can one day afford a beautiful home like this one.
Khaner, hope you are reading!
