and sometimes it will whisper.
help me...
the house yesterday didn't blow me away...because, well....it's not that great.
let me rephrase that..it's a great house it's just not amaaaaazing.
but with our budget and my tastes i suspect this is as good as it will get.
the house is cute.
small and cute and the best part about it is the yard is nice.
we are not good yard keepers.
so a place for fiona to run around without stepping on a fire ant nest or uneven ground makes me happy.
there are other pluses...3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a place for me to paint, an office in the basement for mike...etc..
the interior is a little strange.
built probably in the 40's it's got a lot of interior walls with "windows" to other rooms in them.
plus it has rooms added on (a family room and the master)..
which means buttass carpet in those rooms.
ideally i would knock down the wall between the kitchen and family room and have it more open.
oh..and yes..this one we would buy, not rent.
obvs.
i am getting ahead of myself here but this is the direction i see this house going in..
because let's face it..
a house DOES dictate it's decor.
at least to some degree.
or at least to me.
white.
i know.
so boring.
but it goes beyond that.
i want clean lines, modern, but relaxed and cozy.
not a lot of shit.
just books and cool lamps.
that's what the house told me to do.
in other rooms...
it should be noted that i HATE those bird curtains and blinds. and i would remove the sunburst. but the rest is just the thing.
so restful.
somehow i want to marry all 3 of those bedrooms.
i don't think it can be done.
the wild cards..
i love the monochromatic element and the loungey den feel.
the perfect cocoon for watching tv.
which is all we ever do.
i love the baseboards.
and the blue.
so see..
if i were to put all those together it would be the perfect house for this house.
if i were to give it a name i would call it "fuck you it doesn't need a name".
