And whala! There's another...
Simply beautiful!


Why is it appealing to the eye? Maybe because it scream at you a little bit louder than other rooms. Yeah, it's dramatic with a capital D.

Why Waiting is Hard

We're still waiting for our opportunity to buy a home. Our hopes are for May. It will be here quick but here's what makes the waiting hard....

for a bang-up deal, in a very nice area and think about

into this...

or even this...

This kitchen has potential...
See...

Out with the old...

In with the new...

or...

Old and dated...
Fresh and clean... 

Would love this sun room...
because we could turn it into...



Well, The Mr. and I made a special trip to drive by it. The first thing I saw...



SOLD

 Sad day. 



Were gaining vision by the day!
