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 )

Fabulous. I love the second one in particular.

The first house didn't do it for me but the second would after you do your redecorating. Curious cutouts for the cold air returns! All that ceramic tile has to go! ~ Maureen
ReplyDeleteI live in what we call a "semi-detached" in my part of Pennsylvania. It is so teeeeeny compared to that first house. We definitely do not have "semis" that big here! Now, the second house. I officially will now have house envy of whomever buys that house! I don't even care about the color of the cabinets in the kitchen - though the color of the granite countertops bugs me! I love the built-ins, the gorgeous floors, the dining room and those cool hidden radiators!
ReplyDeleteBTW - up early and ready to dance in the streets!!!
A man will fall in love with House 1...all that lovely dark wood and all. I prefer #2. Both of them lose points in the kitchens, especially the floors. The mexican tile in house 1 may look better in person, but the tile in both houses looks fatigued. I also put Xmas trees in rooms in my head...
ReplyDeleteBoth are just stunning! If you decide that you need a room-mate when you get all moved in, you know where to find me :)
ReplyDeleteBoth houses are stunning!!! I live the exterior of the first better, but inside, they are both gorgeous! Thanks for sharing them! I now share your house envy! ha! :)
ReplyDeleteGirlfriend, I'm not trying to tell you how to spend your fictional money, but do you want to put wood floors in a basement with a drain smack dab in the middle? Or maybe that's not a drain - it might be an abandoned ashtray?
ReplyDeleteLMAO Cheryl - I never saw that - talk about hawkeye!!!
DeleteI think you're right - it's an ashtray - yeah - I'm going to go with that lol

Two equally beautiful, big and bright houses. But,I think my heart is most drawn to house number two. That staircase and the moulding. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteI want that second house too and all of the renovations and decorating you wanted to do would be my choices too. See thats why I love you, we are so much alike. I so wish we both have a home of our dreams like that someday. Going to go back and look at the pics and dream again hugs Tobey
ReplyDeletewe have to keep buying those lottery tickets Tobey - because selling furniture sure isn't going to get it for us LOL

$2 Million and it needs a makeover - great bones though.
ReplyDeleteHi Suzan!!
ReplyDeleteYou know I'll hold you to all you say!! And if I win, I will do the same to you. The first house is what we call out west is a side-by-side or duplex. It was gorgeous, but, house #2 stole my heart 100 times over. So beautiful and elegant!! All those windows!! It made it so bright.
I hope the realtor knows it's mine or yours.

Wowza! That's some serious square footage-I would love to decorate the heck out of those places ;)
ReplyDeleteSusan
It looks like you have some stiff lottery competition for the second house Suzy!! I was walking around this neighbourhood just yesterday, admiring, drooling, dreaming.... spent a bit of fictional money myself....yep, several million I believe!
ReplyDeleteI just want to lay down on the floor and hug that house. Hug it. I actually yelled at my computer as I was looking through these pictures... So glad my hubby left with the kids five minutes before I clicked through - he already thinks I'm crazy. I'm going to look at real estate websites now.... Maybe there's something similar in our town that I can't afford and can whine to myself about...
ReplyDeleteLOL - well I want to " kiss it all over " " and over again "
DeleteGET a lottery ticket............
XOX
Oh, definitely go get a lottery ticket now! This house needs you!!! If I were leaving the states and moving up your way this would be on my dream list too. Thanks for sharing. This is a fun post.........Sarah
ReplyDeleteWonderful spaces....big, definitely big...most of all I love the details (moldings, wood floors etc)...
