My Home Town
Comments (6)Sorry to hear about all the damage, Tony. We didn't experience any really bad weather, thankfully. We just rebounded from the massive storms of April 2011. Keep your head up along with your spirits. You'll feel much better after spending a day with all your plant swap friends on the 10th! I look forward to seeing you....See MoreUpdate on my town home hunting adventure
Comments (15)Congratulations! I felt the same way about my old house, I just walked in to look at it and I thought, "This feels like home." I was hesitant to buy a row house, but as I looked through it I checked off all my "must have's" and a few extras. I never regretted not having a big yard to take care of. I'm still looking for another house to buy after a relocation. I want a big house with a SMALL yard. So far nothing has spoken to me strong enough. A condo is the way to go if you are busy and don't want to fuss with the yard. I hear ya on the sameness though, I look at some condos and think, "If I came home drunk some night it would be pretty easy to pick the wrong house." (Just kidding, I don't even drink!) But you can probably put your little unique touches on the entry without breaking the association rules! The setting and architecture looks very nice. The inside is stunning!! What a great backyard view too!...See MoreVictorian home for sale in my town
Comments (20)My parents' house (the home I grew up in) is very much like this. Built around 1890. They purchased from the grandchild of the original family that built it, and then my parents lived there 35 years, so unbelievably, we are only the 2nd family to own it! My parents lovingly cared for every single inch, and made significant modern updates without sacrificing the integrity of the gorgeous woodwork. Put in central air, but kept the original radiator heat & they remodeled the kitchen to perfection. When they decided to move, the whole family cried. I'm not kidding. A house like that just becomes like another family member. Getting to retirement age, and the detached garage and 2 stories is just going to start getting to be too much. BUT my point is. It is for sale for less than 1/2 the price of the home OP showed. Midwest area small town. And they haven't been able to sell it in well over 6 months. Lots of lookers and everyone loves it, but people just want new now. The level of appreciation for the quality just isn't recognized here. It just breaks my heart....See MoreRenting a town home that's not my style
Comments (12)in case your landlord is okay with you repainting..they chose a nice color..given it's an open plan and they wanted it all to play nicely with their granite I love grays plus browns/red/yellows...harder to pull off when you have a stone though. Stones can be bossy, and this granite is. So you need it to be happy so to say. Or else it'll get back at you)) So..if yellow(which I don't read as yellow on your pictures..looks like tan, but you're there, and I have only my monitor which might be giving wrong impression of colors) bothers you, I'd choose green-based warmer gray..sorta greige.. and be ready to sample a lot. Do samples on big pieces of paper-easier to move around, look at in different lights. Neutrals change like crazy with lighting. All colors do but neutrals are kings of being chameleons.. btw maybe they aimed to do that-find smth with greenish undertone..but difference in lighting between the rooms brings out warmer tones in the living...seems more yellow blueish gray would look great with everything..my only concern are those countertops. you need to cater to these, first of all..other elements would take any gray unless you decide on painting just the living, say..then you can get away with smth like Nancy showed..because to pair paints is much easier as long as they're same degree of brightness/muteness.....See MoreRose Pekelnicky
