I WANNA live there Wednesday # 123


Good Morning everyone !

I didn't have time this week to research a new house so I " borrowed " one from a couple of years ago..................hopefully you didn't know me then........or you're memory is as bad as mine and you've totally forgotten these LOL

The second house !!!
I want that second house !

We're busy painting and installing baseboards - see you tomorrow !
XOX


The first house up today is listed for 3,950,000.
5 bedrooms - 4 baths - 
Realtor information found Here
It's a new build - but they have built it with a lot of the features found in the Heritage homes it's surrounded by - I'm making an exception for this on - because I absolutely love the integrity they put into this.








































I'm in live with this space - absolutely in love - the openess - the windows - the french doors - even the vintage inspired lighting................






an it appears that every bedroom has a set of french doors as well





















Here's where some of the doors lead to 
















I could most definitely live there!!!

The next one is listed at 995,000. just under a million - and I've been doing this long enough to know that for it's location, this is an absolute STEAL.Full of turn of the century charm - ( I think I may have posted this in the beginning of the series - but it's definitely worth a second look at any rate )  and I really cannot believe it hasn't been snapped up.
I would move there in a heartbeat if I could afford it.







I'm such a sucker for high gloss floors - and white paint - it works - every. single. time.Oh and beautiful tall bay windows with transoms and original radiators work their charm on me too.................

















Yes please,























isn't this like having all the charm of a century old farmhouse - with the luxury of living in the heart of the city?  Absolute perfection to me....................































one more shot of my favorite photo?






I REALLY wanna live therewhat was it Jim Croce said about wishes?
oh yeah, here they are, he might have meant a woman, but I feel that way about this house ....................


If I could save time in a bottleThe first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
Till Eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you


But there never seems to be enough time cash
To do buy the things  house you want to  
Once you find them  it
I've looked around enough to know
That you're its the one I want to go
Through time with....................

Paris and Blossoms...................

Good morning everyone !

Most of our trips to Paris took place in September and February ( any time in Paris is a good time - and September is still wonderfully warm there ) and were always business trips with a few days thrown in for us as a mini vacation.

There was one year however when a girlfriend and I went in April - it was a spur of the minute decision one evening while talking on the phone -
One minute she was saying how much she'd love to go and the next minute we were booking a trip
( this was back in the day when business was good - very good in fact - no such spur of the moment trips to Europe would be happening now - there'd be a lot of saving involved now )
It was the only time I went to that beautiful city solely for pleasure and as it happened I spent my birthday in that beautiful city AND I NEVER TOOK ONE PHOTOGRAPH !!!!!!!!!!
