WEDNESDAY WORD

ANOTHER SUNDAY, ANOTHER HOUSE

It's Sunday again.

How come the days are so long

but the weeks fly by?

Anyway, here's another small house

and I'm in love!

source

Although I do think the landscaping really adds a lot to the outside appeal.

I love that poster!

I'm ripping off the idea and making my own!

I like how the walls in the middle of the house don't touch the ceiling.

Wow. I do love all the light!

I wished they showed the bathroom area.

But, here's a blueprint - 

source

The only thing that I would change is to divide the garage.

I would make a dog room area at the very end of the garage,

with a wall dividing it and a door

and have an another door going to the backyard area too,
which would be enclosed with a privacy fence.

But  this house is very cool....

although I suppose I could just someday replace my current counter-top with light butch block

and put down a light wood floor laminate
and put a bigger window in the back bedroom
and maybe a skylight in there
and in the bathroom too,
if I removed the clawfoot tub and put in a tiled shower/tub...

and well, also added a small garage

and then I'd never have to move!

Hmmmm.

WEDNESDAY WORD

NEW THOUGHT

A while back I said that I'm not moving

and I'm not.

I've stopped looking at houses for sale.

Now I have a NEW thought.

I have always planned on paying off my home ASAP

I have a huge loan that will be paid off in 3 years

AND the van has only 20 more months left, so I hope to start paying it down then...
(although, knowing me I will want another vehicle by then.)

I've been obsessing over this

source

source

but because it might not be reliable, 

maybe a sedan would be something I should think about 

like this

source

or THIS!

source

yeah...WHATEVER.

Back to my new thought -

What if I paid off the house and THEN found some property and built a NEW home?!

Anne are you out there reading this?

I've pinned some of your small house ideas!

Anyway, seriously...I think it could be done.

I would not want anything extravagant...the object is still - NO DEBT.

So, here's an example of ONE idea.

source

They built this for $25000.

YES! TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND!

Let the (obsession) research begin!

Here's the inside-

Kitchen down on the end, fireplace in the middle, bed in the wall of shelves -

Bathroom? must be on the opposite end -

I like that the shower can just spray down everything!

The walls, the sink, dirty dogs...everything down the drain!

Outside again-

I imagine the wood painted white 

a stone patio surrounding the house...

Night time

I like the security lights.

OK, I'm gonna need a security fence too.

To keep my dogs in

and scary people out.

So what are YOUR thoughts on this?

Is there something that I'm not thinking of?

Have I missed some major stumbling block?
I'll probably change my mind again.
Just my thought for TODAY.

Cats and Plants

I brought all my plants in that I could last Fall.
The house looks like a greenhouse

and I like that.

I put the smaller ones up HIGH, away from the cats so they wouldn't get munched on.

This morning I looked up and there was Ghost. I think he's wishing for Spring too.

He's up on the china hutch that I'm going to paint black...or white...or black.

Or maybe white.

kinda hating VALENTINE'S DAY

Sorry.

I know I should be sharing Pink and Happy.

or maybe some cool Valentine ideas.

But kinda hate this Holiday.

Every other day I'm pretty content

unless I see something like this

but I immediately remind myself I would have been more like this-

or this

still this day brings out the romantic melancholy in the most cynical.

and it sucks.
