My dream last night...

Before I went to bed last night, 

I was online looking at 

Real Estate,

which is kinda my nightly ritual.

I have this thing about

remodeling every

house I look at.

You know,

"If this was my kitchen...

~Oooh, it would look amazing if...

~That wall needs to come out...

~I'd paint the exterior such and such color...

~Oh, English roses lining the walk ..."

and on and on.

This place popped up on the screen

when I clicked on 'Newest Listings'.

Are you in love or what?

It's a clean slate!

What's that mean {suspiciously}?

Be prepared, this usually scares

many a folk...

Uh, it's completely gutted

down to the wood lathe

and studs.

And I spy some hardwood under 

all that dust!

living room, dining in the middle and kitchen in back

kitchen

Here's the kicker...

Cost: $9000

Shut the front door!!

YES, $9000

Now, having a  Contractor husband,

is kinda dangerous

because he's just as crazy as me.

We've had plenty of discussions about

what we will buy and the condition it's in.

We know this for sure:

it WILL be a fixer.

This qualifies, don't ya think?

I showed him the house and he

just looked at me.

Uh-oh.

It went on the list of

"Potential Properties".

Okay, so to my dream...

I'm not saying this house was in it

but I did dream about this dang kitchen

{I've shared it before because I LOVE it}

...probably because I look at the picture

all-of-the-time.

My husband is not in love with the checked floor

like I am,

so we agreed that when the time comes,

it'll be wood like

{I ain't into tile!}

and I'll compromise with 

a checked or harlequin  area rug,

which I already have earmarked

in my favorites. 

{I'll do checked floor in the laundry room

since that is my room}

;)

Obviously, there are things I'd do different,

but this kitchen has been 

such an inspiration 

for my bucket list.

Anyway, when the time does come

for us to buy and renovate,

you'll be along for the ride.

Just wait and see how we 

can 

s-t-r-e-t-c-h

a dollar. 

We are cheapskates and 

with today's resources,

you can get alot of bang 

for your buck if you put

on your thinking cap!

I'll even figure out to do a video so 

we can show you some

how-to-do's.

I hope you have an inspirational weekend.

It's a big birthday weekend here

and there's some

Bluegrass calling my name.
