I love all...You're right... a house with potential! I love all your ideas!! I've done what you're doing a few times and I've always enjoyed myself... that's why I want to remodel/repurpose homes for a living!<BR/><BR/>Here's something for you to think about... from the moment I saw the living room I thought how fantastic it would be with larger, almost to the floor, windows. They're already terrific windows, but I'd want to be able to see out to that lovely treed backyard more easily when I'm sitting on the sofa :-) To take that idea further... add a deck off the living room (or a portion of). That would mean a different plan for the ground-level patio... but it could work. AND it would allow for a place off the kitchen to BBQ on those nice summer evenings!<BR/><BR/>Listen to me... making plans for your almost-home! Just tell me to shut up, please!! :-)<BR/><BR/>Victoria: EdinDesign Interiors @ DesignTiesDesignTieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02561438683476880640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030308239398272700.post-13681381360030106022009-03-17T19:12:00.000-04:002009-03-17T19:12:00.000-04:00Lauren - good luck with the offer!

When we gutted the kitchen in our last house, cabinets were by far the biggest expense. You could also remove the upper cabinets and add open shelves (maybe a cool hood over the stove). We painted the kitchen cabinets in our current house, and I've loved the results. <BR/><BR/>I hope everything goes well, and you get the house with minimal hassle. I can't wait to see what you end up doing!!Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09392084270719167387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030308239398272700.post-85328865691216731172009-03-17T16:10:00.000-04:002009-03-17T16:10:00.000-04:00HOLY POST LAUREN!
