I WANNA live there Wednesday # 8

I live in a pretty incredible area - It's an historical neighbourhood loaded with tons and tons and tons of charm - and 20th century architecture, just steps away from the city center, it's also a pretty expensive neighbourhood ( in which I live in servants quarters basically compared to what I'm surrounded by.)

Because there's days I don't have furniture makeovers to show you - I've chosen Wednesdays to showcase and feature one home that's for sale around here.................( or apartment - or duplex - or teepee )

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

1.599,000.00
After 8 weeks - my thinking is becoming warped - I'm starting to look at these houses and think wow - what a steal - at a million and a half LOL

But I definitely WANNA live here!

Step right up, come on in, if you'd like to take the grand tour.....................

Beautiful back windows - the whole length of the home - and love the transom over the back doors

What's that peakiing through the vines in the back? Probably an outdoor garage - but what a great workshop right?

The one thing I miss the most from our last home is my beloved little garden - it literally hurts my heart to remember it - I love this little corner of their back yard!

Ok let's go on in

I like it - I love it - I want some more of it

I love how they've snuck an office in the background of the living room!

Don't you love the amount of windows in this home? I adore this room....................

Unique back splash - looks like tufted tile - I like!

and just to show you that my eyes miss nothing - nothing I tell you - there's something about jackets hanging on a coat rack in a kitchen that I love..................and that rug? perfection!
If I had a kitchen this size I'd be doing somersaults on that rug - I'd be dancing on the counter tops while my cakes were baking - I'd be playing tag from one end of the other just so I could touch each end of the wall and scream " SAFE"

Could someone straighten out that bottom picture please - it's driving me nuts

I can barely tell you how much I love this master bedroom - simple - clean - look at that adorable fireplace in the corner - the chaise lounge facing the sun - that little nook in the far right corner - I even love the roman blinds ( and you know how much I love radiators )
And I - Suzan - even love that wood dresser - yup - If I could live here, I would promise not to paint that piece!

And if I could have this en suite I would promise never to paint another piece of furniture as long as I lived ( but my fingers would be crossed behind my back )
This is probably the nicest bathroom out of the series ( to me anyways )

can you make out that Venetian mirror on the left hand side wall - wish they would have shown that!

a little exposed brick in the nook - with a skylight overhead anyone?

Too cute - love the little shutter door under the nook

did I mention how much I love the next room - lol - sorry had to look at it again

Love the color of the walls - also love that there's no window treatment believe it or not

small basement bedroom? can you ( just ) make out that rustic dresser on the left hand side of the photo?

basement rec room

Think I feel depressed now actually LOL -
Going to clean all 1100 square feet of my place now -
Oh did I mention that I really really really love this room

As soon as I saw this vanity - I thought wow - I'm going to take this

paint it black and put it in my bathroom -
HA HA HA HA HA HA - in my dreams - it's too big by 1 inch - 1 lousy stinking rotten miserable depressing INCH.
But guess what?
I want to paint it black.
Don't judge - it's a sickness that's completely out of my control at this point.
Just from looking at that one photo of a bathroom - I've decided I want to paint it black - keep the top white -and redo my bedroom -
God help me..............................

Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone!

Big Hugs,
Suzan

Time to Party!

I A-DOOR this

Ok - this has nothing to do with me whatsoever - ABSOLUTELY NOTHING - just was sitting here thinking of this scenario - and wondered what you all thought?

Say there were 2 friends that were trying to start a business together - and in doing so - there was a lot of cleaning up involved.
And say one friend noticed that the other friend had a lot of unfinished pieces stacked up everywhere and out of the goodness of her heart she said " I can take a piece home and do it up for you - it would help you and me because I could post about it before returning it "

And say this piece was an antique armoire door that looked a little like this ( ok - exactly like this actually )
