I WANNA live there Wednesday # 71

WELCOME TO I WANNA LIVE THERE WEDNESDAY -
PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A SERIES ON REAL ESTATE FOR SALE - MOSTLY IN MY HOME TOWN OF MONTREAL - WITH LOTS OF VISITS HERE AND THERE TO SEE WHAT ELSE IS OUT THERE - SOMETIMES IN N.Y. OR NEW ORLEANS - OR PARIS - OR............ANYWHERE ACTUALLY!
I CONCENTRATE ( FOR THE MOST PART ) ON HERITAGE HOMES - HISTORICAL BUILDINGS WITH DETAILED ARCHITECTURE.
SINCE THIS IS A SERIES ON THE HOUSE ITSELF - AND NOT THE WAY PEOPLE FURNISH THEM - KINDLY KEEP THAT IN MIND WHEN LEAVING COMMENTS -I WOULD NOT WANT A HOME OWNER TO COME ACROSS THEIR HOME ON MY BLOG AND READ UNKIND THINGS ABOUT IT ( I WAS ONCE CONTACTED WITH THANKS FOR SHOWCASING SOMEONE'S HOME - SO IT'S POSSIBLE )  IF YOU'RE INTO HOMES WITH A HISTORY THIS IS A SERIES YOU JUST MAY ENJOY - THANKS SO MUCH FOR VISITING THEM WITH ME

WOW - have I got a treat today - this beauty is in Provincetown, MA.
A little History as follows:


Welcome to the historic birthplace of Admiral MacMillan, Arctic Explorer. This 1850 original antique has been completely rebuilt in conjunction with Provincetown historic codes. Details seen from the front and public way have been painstakingly repaired or replaced. The home is now totally rebuilt and renovated to the highest standards using top grade materials and incorporating many modern amenities. Included in the 3000sf contemporary design is a first floor open living plan, a finished basement, and three bedrooms with en suite baths upstairs. See attached floor plans and expanded detail for more. This will truly make the next owner a very special and unique historical homestead!
Listing courtesy of William Raveis RE & Home Serv.
Price 1,725.000
3 beds - 4 baths
3000 sq. feet





This place is stunning - I'm absolutely in awe of it!


Having always lived in small city homes - I can't for the life of me - imagine having so much space 



It flows so beautifully ( wonder if this is the original floor plan? ) 


An incredible kitchen !  This series is really starting to get depressing now LOL - now I WANT NEED
to have beams 







Stairs to basement I presume?


Basement?


I definitely have to paint a wall navy - today !


And here's the million dollar view


















Well - all I can say about this one is - if I win a couple of million dollars tomorrow - this house will be mine by Friday LOL

I know I've said it before - but this may really really really be my favorite since I've started this series:)

Have a wonderful Wednesday all - 
Buy a lottery ticket!

Much love,


Partying here !

It's been awhile Craig....................('s LIST )

What with everything that's going on here - reno's - furniture - eating - sleeping - reno's - furniture - eating - sleeping - I haven't had time to scour Craig's list................

Last night I decided to give it a whirl -
And this morning I'm one tres happy girl
( I'm also a poet - just in case you didn't know it )

On it's way ....................
( I want to fix that wall behind the seller's bench - badly )
It's an antique Church bench - and lo and behold - this may be the only time you'll ever hear this
out of my mouth - it will NOT be painted !!!
Is that the sweetest thing ever?
A pillow - a throw - a basket on the floor in front of it - love love love !!!



This will be picked up tonight - OMG - I can't tell you how much I'm in love with this -
The seller claims it's an antique - looks a little like a reproduction to me - but I love it regardless.
And this may be the 2nd and last time you'll ever hear this out of my mouth - but I don't think this will be painted either - although I'm not quite so certain about this one - I'm kind of picturing it white with a french graphic also -



John says - how much do you think you can get for them refinished
Suzan says - hmmm- not sure - we'll see

Suzan doesn't say she's keeping them - for now at least - and getting rid of the one she has now
which is this one - and is far too big for this living room


I still haven't heard back from this seller - but asked about it - no chairs but they're easy enough to find



beautiful legs


items I wanted to get - but they're just too far away ( or so John says and I'm agreeing with him because I don't really have the room for anything else right now so they'd have to go in storage )







THE COOLEST CHAIR EVER
why why why does the seller have to live so far away?


I literally had to turn off the computer because I was having a bit of an anxiety over the chair to be honest with you................

Ok gotta get this piece finished -


hmmm what else?

oh - if any of you are interested - THE WINDOW IS FINALLY INSTALLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

John says - what the hell are you taking a picture of the window now for - it's not finished
Suzan says - Listen, my readers don't care, you got it?  Stop sticking your nose in my blog details!!!
John says - it's just ridiculous - the foam is sticking out everywhere - the shims are sticking out - the
Suzan puts her hand up - shhhhh - I'm trying to concentrate on my photography skills
John says - or lack there of....................

ok - he gets no argument from me there - none whatsoever LMHO

but here you go guys - because I know most of you have been having trouble sleeping worrying about my kitchen window


Now tonight you can all fall into the deepest of slumber.....................
( and dream about that hardware )

I don't think I'm going to hang curtains on the window - ( and blinds are very dangerous )

I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window 

I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind 


She was my woman 


As she deceived me I watched and went out of my mind 


My, my, my, Delilah 


Why, why, why, Delilah 


can you remember belting that song out?
how morbid lol

Have a wonderful day all !

Much love,
