House Hunting

Ahhhhhh, isn't this house so peaceful? 

It came up in my MLS criteria a few days ago . . . what do you think?  It fits the picture I have in my mind of "Farm Marvelous," only I sort of have my heart set on finding a diamond in the rough that I can make pretty over time, project by project . . . this house is already pretty-SO pretty!  It might not "need" me, you know? 



Dreamy, right?

Carissa said...

WOW!!! DREAMY!!!!
I love that checkered floor, farm sink, and all of the bead board! Not to mention the porch!! I would have to paint the ceiling of the porch a nice light robin's egg blue, otherwise it would be move in ready for me! ;-)

Love it, love all the white, the porch, the yard....well all of it. Did you make a bid?

Dana - Vintage Interiors said...

Oh, this place has your name written all over it...totally adorable yet plenty of opportunity to make it all your own!

Sue @ House Pretty said...

Beautiful! I could see doing over the stair treads in black, or dark brown. There! A change you could make to give it more of a wow factor. Other than that, everything about that place seems very WOW to me!

Comeca Jones said...

Love it! Blew me away!

The Wonderful World of Wampler said...

Those floors are AMAZING. I am not a big fan of the open cabinet layout in the kitchen, but I love love love the church pew on the front porch. :)

Katie @ On the Banks of Squaw Creek said...

You're right. That house doesn't need you. It needs ME! And it needs me RIGHT NOW!

AMAZING!

Brenda said...

If you don't want it, can I have it?? I am In LOVE with that house!!!!

It's a Wannabe Decorator's Life said...

But, it looks so like you! It's gorgeous already, but I can only imagine what you could do with it!

Ami at A Sierra Home said...

So, so lovely. And I agree with everyone else there is still SO much you can do to add your mark. To the yard, too! If you want to check out an amazing farmhouse renovation and story of a couple with babies after many, many years of wanting and waiting, acountryfarmhouse.blogspot.com, is amazing.

Shivaun said...

My house in heaven looks JUST LIKE THAT! Perfection!

Empty Nest Full Life said...

I might need to come check this one out. It is beautiful, and reminds me so much of your new old house. It would be hard to pass up, if it is in your price range. Jackie

Sarah said...

It already looks like it had you!!! :)

Jessica@The Southern Belle Baby said...

I just came across your blog today, and I am hooked!! This house is gorgeous, that porch alone makes it worth buying!

Julia said...

That house is perfect...you should move right in!!

Dana @ Cookin' At Cafe D said...

You had me at the porch.
I'm not sure I even needed to go inside.

I'll be here -mind bringing out some lemonade?
:)

Annette said...

Love, love, love the sweet farmhouse. I think it might be just what you are looking for. Peaceful, quiet and just waiting for a family to love it! Can't turn down a sweet front porch like that!

Grace said...

I love that house! The front porch is what every good farm house needs...

Andrea @ Farmhouse Love said...

What a gorgeous home!!!
We actually just moved to "diamond in the rough" farmhouse {120 years old} It's exactly what we were looking for!
We've been in demolition mode for the past 2 months -- and even though the days can be long, it is SO exciting to know our house will look exactly how we want it to look...someday.
If you like projects, I would definitely vote for a diamond in the rough. It will be so satisfying when you're finished -- if you're really ever finished :)

How can you even NOT think about buying this house.... and possibly all the furnishings in it as well?

pipigirl said...

i think that this is a wonderful house. wow was wondering what happened to you. hadnt heard anything for while. anyway, the fact that the bones of this house are in such great shape, and love love love that porch....just think sitting out there in any season well u know..but back to it, there would be so many thigs that you could do to personalise it and the fact that the house is in such good shape, the money that u could use to do other things to it that u may brainstorm. just think, u could have the perfect house with every single thing that you want in it, because you dont have to worry about spending money, and time...[that you could spend outside in flowers, with Wynn...]get my picture? Im 56 and i say GET THAT BEAUTIFUL HOME!!!

pipigirl said...

i know ive already posted, but i feel the need lol. i went back and looked at both houses. They are both wonderful. but girl, the 2nd one. it still has sooo many possibilities, and you dont have to add on, and YOU CAN PLANT WIDFLOWERS... i have plenty of leftover seeds. ill send you some! dont let this house pass you by. its a dream come true and you may never find another like it.
