MLS Stalking

Occasionally, I browse the local MLS.

It's a bit dangerous for me given my love for houses.

I start to get the crazy notion that it would be fun to sell and buy another.

(Hello, Jimmy, Mum & Dad, don't think I can't see you rolling your eyes!!)

This one has some serious POTENTIAL.

Wanna see??

 SOOO much prettier in person.

What???

I drove by?

Ummm....maybe.

 The dining room...

 Needs a little work.

 Nix the chandelier, but yay for the wallpaper.

The kitchen...

 Oh, BIG kitchen.  I have plans for you!!!

 Hmmm, strange triangle window with valuted ceiling. 

The 80s were a bad, bad time for architecture.

I bet this was remodeled and added on then.

Don't worry, I can fix it!

Starting with the lights.

Living room...

Gorgeous fireplace.  Not so gorgeous wall color.

Family Room...

Goodbye, salmon paint.

and lastly, one of the children's rooms.

Cute as a button, right??!!

So what would I use for inspiration?

(I'm a bit crazy over this boy room.  Don't have to move to replicate this.  LOVE it!!)

 Can't you just see it??!!

Don't worry, I'm staying put for a while.
I am quite fond of our home and village (Linsey, I know you are smiling.  It really is a village!!)
and while this little, picket fenced, Cape Cod is very sweet,
it is smaller and in the neighboring town.
Sure is fun to think about though...
