I don't know. It seemed shrug-worthy. The pic doesn't do it justice, I think. I really love my neighborhood and I love my street even. Somehow the picture doesn't capture it at all. I'll have to take my own some time.

it's also how I wish you pronounce it in your head when you read it

ugleeeeyyyyy


yeah the inside is very nice, especially the new bathroom, I am still going to post before/during/after pics once we have put up the shower screen and towel rails (in this decade hopefully )

I love seeing city dwellings. It lets me live vicariously through you guys.


I always wanted to live in the city for a little while anyway. I still want to, but don't know if I can.

it is the classic brick vanilla (brick veneer) building style so popular in 1960. This place used to be the outest burbs then, but now is is now just outside "inner city"
It is indeed like every other house in our street.
The tiles on the roof are cement, which grow moss, but they are durable. Next doors have terracotta tiles, which last forever you never have to restore them, just high pressure clean every 50 years
The inside was renovated and the back extended in the 80s, fantastic spaces, and still heaps of potential for further development.
I don't mind it being dull from the front, doesn't attract attention. We probably won't ever move from here you know!

You ugly! Uh huh! Uh huh!

We have a much improved mailbox now compared to the awful one in the picture, hehe.

This is my dream building:

I pass by it on the bus every day on my way to work.

As yet, I can't afford it.

I need a sugar daddy!

very nice!

CarrieMpls said:

We have lots of old warehouse buildings being turned into new modern lofts. They are so cool! But, they are expensive and not really family friendly. The ones that would possibly be big enough for us is so out of our price range.

They are incredible.

That is what my dream home looks like in my mind.

Thank you so much kimrachell

Ian and I feel so blessed to have a home to call our own, especially a home that we love so much.

We try everyday to never take it for granted.

Diva said:

does anyone else see the hearts in the snow????


thats awesome, especially with you on your honeymoon and all :touching:

nakedpianoplayer said:

OMG!! I didn't until you mentioned it.



I was just bummed at first when we rec'd the pic because I love snow. Then I looked around and I was on a beautiful island and I cheered right up. Then we sent our neighbour a pic back from the beach.

shanti0608 said:

Holy shit, I didn't see that til now either!

FunkMistress said:

I also didn't notice until now that the car is parked halfway onto the sidewalk! Follow the tire tracks!

Cinnie said:

we have to do that in our street as it is pretty tight and a cul-de-sac so people who come in have to turn around

I took this picture when we were having unseasonably cold weather here in Tampa.
But I like the house. It was decorated actually by a really nice Tampa girl and her extremely efiminant male companion.



It's a large picture so I'll link to it and show some consideration for folks with limited bandwidth, cause that's how I roll: http://www.danonderdonk.c...ohouse.jpg

I have to admit I'm a bit frustrated that all my neighbors park their cars on the wrong side of the road.
