I LOVE that house! Anyone who restores a home like that has got to put their heart and soul into it! That is just gorgeous! Do you have hardwood floors? I'd kill for hardwood floors. We're in the process right now of taking up the w/w carpeting and laying laminate which gives the allusion of hardwood....but it ain't hardwood that's for sure!
I don't have a photo of our house on this computer and I looked on google for something like it. I just don't see anything really like it there.
Think: rustic, cedar, 12/12 pitch roof (not an A-frame), trapezoid windows, vaulted ceiling, great room, floor to ceiling rock fire place...that kind of thing.
I notice a great contrast between your front yard, bikes and sidewalks...and what our life is like. Around here we live with "critters"...deer, red foxes, squirrels and that sort of thing. I remember my kid saying "Mom, look at the big black dog!" and me answering "That's not a dog, hon, that's a bear...it's time to go inside now"
;-)
Gotta love it!
Jersey, That sounds like my husband's dream home. We lived on a farm before we moved to our current house and he hates all of the neighbors. He prefers privacy. Maybe that's because he never had any growing up in San Diego.
I do have hardwoods. You're going to be sorry you asked. MORE before and after.

We did most of the work ourselves. My husband wanted to weep when I pulled us up outside of it. It was his nightmare. Money pit in real life. But I loved it. And he loves me. :)
What was this thread about?
So where do you shop Jersey? PP wants to know.
