C'mon in!

We're thinking we'll make this lovely gem our new home:

Lots of light in every room---
Big windows, sun shining through.
Built in the 1950s.
Fabulously reminiscent of that.

Designed with design in mind.
A fresh feeling and the promise of
happy Christmas memories.

Details and storage space abound.
Potential, potential, potential.
Room to grow and prosper.

Pink (and other) carpeting that will soon be
mercilessly ripped out.
Lots of other things like that.

But solid bones and a feeling of
timelessness.
Good neighbors,
friends to be had.

And a hallway in our bedroom!

Lots of space and no stairs.
A place where one could have creaky knees.
A laundry room with shelves! and cabinets!
Oh boy!

A garage.
A garage that feels like a submarine.

No more shoveling, scraping snow from the car.

A yard for Mr. Gabe---
to be thoroughly sniffed out and searched.

Space for a playground.
Safety in being fenced in
(for those of us who are particularly prone
to eating small white dogs for breakfast).

    If you're pressed for decorating ideas, I suggest taking some tips from Wayne Coyne

  6. Looks like a gorgeous place. There's a lot to be said for the 1950's style houses. They were built in a more optimistic time and really reflect that. Hope you get what you're after.
