So we all want the quality, high ceilings, sweeping porches, and oversized lots of an older home, right? But let's get serious -- old is not charming in the kitchen or bath. So those have to be renovated.
Only I don't wanna do it. It's messy. And inconvenient. And it always takes longer and costs more than you think.
That's the rule.
But guess what? My insanely talented friend Glenda and her handy hubbie love it. They are working on their third historic home right now. They can't help themselves.
They have skills.
They have vision.
They have a gorgeously renovated old home for sale.
It's got buckets of charm. Completely updated bathrooms and kitchen. Fabulous porches. Nice big garage. And a pool, for crying out loud!
You can take a peek here.
Here are the particulars: 4 bedroom/3 bath/2 living + study/pool/large yard/2 car garage; for more information visit: http://www.lolisa.com/
Check it out, if only to steal some decorating ideas. Then tell all your friends. You could even post it on your blog. Let's go viral and sell this baby! And be sure to tell them Sharon sent you.
Because I want bragging rights.
Update: Glenda's bee-yoo-tiful house has sold! I don't think my blog is the reason but I did notice when I went to check back that the first paragraph on the linked page had changed. It sounded a bit like what I wrote about here. So I'm thinking that's pretty cool...

Love you Sharon!! Thanks!!
What a gorgeous home! It really is the sort of thing people put in magazines and dream about. Your friend must indeed be very talented.
Now--if only you had a great steady, interesting, 9-5, no travel required job to go with it (if I'm going to dream, why not go all out?), I would say we're headed to Texas.
