I WANNA live there Wednesday # 59

Good morning everyone !!!

I felt like being in New Orleans today ( again ) so we're headed that way :)
You can see the last one I did in this gorgeous city HERE
Now on to today's !

849,000 will get you this 3 bedroom - 3 bathroom - on it's way to being fully renovated
charmer.
1800 square feet
French Quarter
Realtor:  GARDNER REALTORS
Follow me ( both sides are for sale - so we could buy one each :)
Very deceiving front - this place is much larger than it appears


By now you know how I feel about architectural details, right?


Check out the height of those ceilings ( and those beams )



Not quite finished being renovated - but I LOVE the arches.
I had them once in a house and I actually considering making them square, can you imagine???






If you have a little more to spend - this one's listed at 2,995,000
AND it's worth every single penny of it ( in my humble opinion )
WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE THE DETAILS IN THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!
Again, this is in the French Quarter - built in 1825 - almost 200 years old
AND it's basically 3 houses in one

Very rare & magnificent Spanish-Colonial Creole cottage c. 1825, on one of the largest residential parcels in the French Quarter. Features elegant gardens, grand pool, gorgeous wd flrs, hi ceil, working fireplaces, crown molding, custom cypress kitchen cabinets, elevator, lots of off-street parking, 3BR/2BA main house (approx.3,375 sqft liv.area), 2BR plus loft/3BA guest house w/gallery that overlooks the courtyard (approx. 1,973 sqft liv. area).

5 bedrooms - 5 full baths - 
Realtor - GARDNER REALTORS
I can't tell you how badly I WANNA live there !!!


I could seriously just die and go to door heaven with this next photo - 


more incredible doors
I was meant to live in one of these - don't ask me how I know that - I just do - somehow - somewhere - the plans went terribly awry ( I think that's the first time I've ever used the word awry - I like it - remind me to use it again lol ) 

A few cosmetic changes - here and there - wallpaper removed and such - would be all it would take don't you think?


maybe I'll incorporate this into the little cottage backyard lmho
in my world this is considered a park - here it's a backyard!!!

Can you just imagine the evening garden parties - with jazz playing - glasses tinkling - fairy lights shimmering and laughter - lots and lots of laughter ???
This place must be Neverland surreal gorgeous in the evening


I seriously almost can't take it LOL


AND.  IT.  JUST.  KEEPS.  GETTING.  BETTER


IGNORING THE CARPET - CHECK OUT THE DETAILS
I'M ON SENSORY OVERLOAD NOW


You see that dresser in the next photo???
Doesn't it look like this one I painted?  ( which by the way is in storage because I couldn't bear to sell it )
So that just proves it - I WAS supposed to live in a house like this after all ) and this is the first time I've put one of my painted pieces in an IWLTW post - but I just had to lol



ok - enough with your nonsense Suzan

Let's see - if I flip 50 houses in the next 5 years and they came down a couple of million - maybe I could buy this !!!
And then I could blog from here

Have a fantastic Wednesday all !!!
Week of White continues tomorrow :)
Much love,

Week of White - Bedrooms

Good morning everyone!
Packing has officially begun - whether we get this HOUSE or not ( initial offer has been presented ) we still have to move - so.............
I'm taking breaks here and there to share what my visions are for the next place I live in :)
Yesterday I showed you white livingrooms - HERE - today it's bedrooms
I love them all - from Shabby to Cottage to French Elegance

Again all ( or mostly ) white

LOVE the scroll work in the window - the rustic beams and that chandelier!!!
( but mostly I love that scroll work ) 
In my world there's nothing like a bit of grey mixed up with white

I already have a head start after all, having painted all the furniture white already ( HERE )


Have a wonderful day everybody -
Don't have a heart attack or anything but I plan on spending some time visiting you all today - I REALLY
miss seeing what you've been up to ( and I may find an idea or two or 500 in the process :)
