Oh, a House Hunting we will go...

[~Daisy~]

Which one????

[Sunny]

I like House 5, very estate looking.

This one. 

[~Daisy~]

Very cool. Just get rid of those shrubs, promise me. LOL

[Sunny]

You're the landscape artist... What would you do with it?

I'm looking at that red roof...if it wasn't so new, that would be replaced with brown or something more neutral & the shutters painted to match.

Baby steps...

[~Daisy~]

I'll have to think about it...

I am a big fan of stones and bricks that are natural to the area. And we know I'm a fan of trees...let me think for a bit. Oh, and stone or brick driveways are always a nice touch. LOL

[Sunny]

Yes, the driveway is on the list of improvements. Isn't it exciting to pick something apart before it's even purchased!?!?

I'm just excited about have TWICE the house I have now...what to do with all of that extra space? 

[~Daisy~]

If you're anything like me, you'll fill it. Fast.


I love to take a house and think "How can I make this "Me?"

[Sunny]

That's a great way to look at it! And yes, I'm sure it won't take long to fill...lol!

(was typing this before) RE: the exterior, I guess it will also depend on what the landscaping of the other houses huh? According to husband, it's the house to buy...definitely not the 'nicest' on the block. Great for resellability. (is that a word?)

Needless to say, it's an EXCELLANT neighborhood...where I would love for my girls to grow up -- houses are relatively close, but has a deep back lot with trees and shaded areas, perfect for a treehouse or clubhouse.

And a deck that will need expanded or ripped down -- I'm spoiled by the hot tub, that will be on the "to buy" list!

and me! When I bought this house a little over a year ago, there were rooms I didnt even go in every week. Now...I find myself thinking about which side I could add onto!

Oooh and a waterfall 

and a pergula

[Sunny]

I LOVE that, Daisy! *makes note for husband* And the pergula looks relatively easy to build...for him. 

[Red Haired Girl]

House 5, huh? Looks great... actually is VERY VERY much like the one that we sold in 04.  It had about 16 rooms.. our new house has 5... where will I put all that stuff/??? I know... i will send it to you to put in your new rooms. LOL

~DAISY~, I love your ideas!  We had a pond with an overflowing barrel at our old home.  I think it was part of what sold it so fast.

With all the back yard you'll have, Sunny, then the pergula is an awesome idea!!! 

I am a rock lover, too... a rock face on the wall beside the drive would be nice... then then plant perinneals.... something bright and pretty... yellow, purple, and red!

Does Hubby have a camera with him??? I wanna see the insides!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sunny]

Awww....you ladies are getting me SO excited. It actually has a small deck on the back, but it looks sorta useless -- not big enough even for my husband's grill. 

But, the glass sliders (which would be nice with french doors instead) come out rather high in the back, so something would need to be built up...not sure how the pergula that Daisy pictured would work.

Camera...uh, yes, Husband took it with him to PA, but LEFT IT IN HIS CAR yesterday when our friend realtor took him to view the house. But, he PROMISED that if we make an offer & it's accepted, he won't come home without more pictures.

It sounds like the inside is a renovator's dream...the house was built in 1977 & hasn't been updated much sine. Look out Brady Bunch, here we come! LOL!

But, we can make it our own this way. Thanks for asking & sharing...sounds like your former home was just as beautiful as your current one!

Sunny, I had to go back and look at #5, It looks lovely and I'm excited about all your ideas so far......Having a ball already aren't you?

Hearing you say, it's a place you would love for the girls to grow up is the main seller here.

When do you know for sure? Are we a shoe in? Did we put in a offer? Can you tell I'm excited for you and the family?

Just heard from my husband...our financing has gone through & now we're going to put a bid on the house -- might know TODAY!

Thank you VERY much for being excited with us!!!
