A couple weeks ago, Nick and I were taking a walk, which we do frequently, and we walked past this house. This house is nearly perfect. It would most definately need some work, a nice yellow finish, and a deep red door, to start. The porch is nice and big, perfect for a porch swing. And not only is this in the correct country, it's only two blocks from where I live now. There's another one, a few blocks to the east that I want even more, but i didn't drive by that one with my camera today.

Funny you should post this today. I was just thinking about my house before I painted it. I'm not sure that I have any "before" pictures, but it was a lot less cute. White with tacky blue wooden shutters and a mismatched grey garage! God, and the inside was mint green. I realize my dark walls may not appeal to everyone, but who likes mint green? Plus it had god-awful wallpaper border.
My point? Who knows. Maybe that a few cans of paint can make a world of difference.
I [heart] my house, but I don't think that's going to come as a surprise to anyone.
Ooooh! A porch swing would be perfect on that house!
I like the second one......
You have to love porches.
Awww, cute! Part of the fun of buying a house (or moving into a new place) is getting all "you"-ish. You know?
PS - I liked the recap of your top 10 posts!
sarah, i heart your house too.
rachel, i know, my #1 requirement in a house is that it be amenable to a porch swing. (that's a requirement in a husband too)
dem, I do too, but it would definately need some work.
thanks toni.
rocket, the other house i like, that i'll try to get a picture of sometime, has a screened in porch, which i'm not fond of, but I think I could take it out and make it an open air porch.
lauren, i've never lived in a house, so it's a dream of mine to someday own my own. right now, it isn't going to happen. but someday.
Does this mean you're not moving in?
lol, no carly, i'm not, i'm terribly sorry. perhaps you could find a nice house down here? we have football here, although i don't reccommend the local team.
Yeah, those dirty Vikings just won't do. Will you visit me in the ATL?
