yes. i'm talking about our house hunt. again. though we still haven't found a winner, hubs and i did check out a great 60s ranch last night that kind of stole my heart. it had great potential for expansion (the master bath was not impressive as-is, but totally liveable until we could afford to make changes down the road), and it featured the coziest wood paneled tv room in all of history. fireplace, great built-ins and giant windows along one whole wall. i, of course, suggested that it would be totally badass to paint the entire room in a rich blue lacquer. which scored me some sideways glances from hubs and our realtor, who was so intrigued that he requested photos.
which he liked.
of course.
even though the owners were crafty enough to bake an apple pie during our visit, this one was ultimately crossed off the list.* i have to say, i highly, highly recommend that trick if you're selling. the three of us wanted nothing more than to break out some silverware and stay awhile!
* great location for me, not so much for husband's commute. t'was also on a pretty high traffic street. and calling one of the rooms a bedroom was a bit of a stretch. but we're getting closer!
which he liked.
of course.
