and here's the room that's inspiring those dreams - I'm sure in it's day that ceiling ( wallpapered between the beams ) was nice - but those days are gone and it's time to move one :)
The beams would stay dark by the way - and although I'd like it mostly white - I don't see this room completely white at all...................

One of my readers thought I was upset with her because I haven't replied to any comments -
OH NO - I JUST KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN
PLEASE know that I read them all - and I try to reply - I'm just so completely overwhelmed right now
with everything that's going on.....................

AND THEN ON TOP OF IT ALL I HAVE THIS TO CONTEND WITH

Suzan says - I need to pack up the book cases
John says - Why?  The movers will just take them as is
Suzan says - You've got to be kidding me, right?
John says - Well I'm not disassembling them, that's for sure
Suzan says - I NEED TO PACK UP THE BOOKS THAT ARE ON THE BOOKCASES!!!!!
John says - Oh, why didn't you say that then?

My fault I suppose - for not being clear

Suzan says - Do you think you can pick up some boxes so I can get started
John says - Sure..................

And he comes home with this size........................you can't tell from the photo so much but these boxes are almost as tall as I am

My fault I suppose - for not being clear

Suzan says - those boxes are too tall - the bottoms will give away - and they'll be too heavy to lift
John says - those boxes are perfect - we can fit a ton in each of them
Suzan says - please don't make me waste time proving myself again - they'll be too heavy to lift
Suzan says - we need something a little smaller

And he brings me home a ton of these..................

which fit approximately 5 books ( to let you know the scale - 2 tins of Annie Sloan paint would fit in them and that's it )

My fault I suppose - for not being clear

Suzan says - Do you think you could pick up another 10,000 of those boxes
John says - What are you talking about?
Suzan says - Well I can only fit 5 or 6 boxes in each one
John says - WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?
John says - FIRST THEY'RE TOO BIG - AND THEN THEY'RE TOO SMALL

My fault I suppose - for not being clear

Suzan says - Surely there's a size out there somewhere - in between 5 books and 500 books
John says - aw leave me alone Suzan - Hockey just started - why don't you go blog about it?

And that's exactly what I decided to do..................

Until he finds me the size that's just perfect.
Now I know exactly how Goldilocks felt....................

( maybe I should just go to a moving warehouse and buy the proper sized boxes? well isn't that the strangest concept lol?  I come from a world where buying boxes is almost as insane as buying brand new furniture )

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 -

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,

PARTYING WITH THESE LADIES !!!
