Can't Get Enough Of This


Update on "project John Day": We found a house to rent month-to-month until we can find a place to buy. I was hoping to find a place we could just plant ourselves in upon moving, but this was the best option given our current situation. On the other hand, I kind of like this open-ended-ness. If we buy a fixer-upper, I could work some magic on it and really make it my own. If we found a home requiring less elbow grease, we could make small changes that have a big impact. It has me thinking of my ideal home. I've started a list of things I want, not necessarily practical, unattainable or glamourous:
  • sink disposal
  • kitchen without a major traffic flow running through it
  • large yard
  • eat-in kitchen and formal dining room
  • 2 bathrooms
Those were the big things, and I'm sure I'll think of more as the days go on. What would you like in your "ideal home"?

I did a double-take on the picture you posted. It looks so much like your duplex, but it's a little different. Wow.

I'd probably want that kitchen with a great big island and more modern detail, can't tell I've thought of this I bet:) Happy Birthday!
