This inspiration pictures are right up my alley! We bought a an old farmhouse two years ago and are gutting it, and I'll say it was in better shape when we started than your Franken-house BUT anything is possible with vision. Friends and family who thought we were bananas to take on such a project can now (18 months later) see things coming together and it is a big "ahh!" when they realize what we've been seeing in our heads all along.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16727790051391706040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047618339605556391.post-28885520633285981842011-05-03T11:09:59.440-07:002011-05-03T11:09:59.440-07:00Everything about this house makes me smile.

My husband would be horrified, but I think its great and I love anyone who has the gumption to paint a house that color, or buy one and live it in for a while. Happy that you found something that excites you - to each his own. I'll stick with my cookie-cutter house but I'm so glad there are people like you (and the rest of my family) who want to tackle projects such as these.Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06154807178850136731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047618339605556391.post-72615697585702493212011-05-02T15:48:55.063-07:002011-05-02T15:48:55.063-07:00@JennaYup, no mortgage.

We'll have a little money up front to do the immediate, necessary repairs, then just chip away at the other projects through the year as money (and our sanity) allows.Mothershiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13734896338035985071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047618339605556391.post-91827572521519842412011-05-02T15:02:09.521-07:002011-05-02T15:02:09.521-07:00Wow - that is a house with A LOT of character! I w...Wow - that is a house with A LOT of character! I was thinking that the good aspect about the shiny walls in the bathroom is that they will probably wipe clean really easily. I love your cheery attitude - definitely an example to me. I would be whining for sure. Maybe one of the best aspects is that you won't have much of a mortgage, other than the home improvements that you might choose to do.Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10053294732592347387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047618339605556391.post-40543677178712169512011-05-02T12:14:43.656-07:002011-05-02T12:14:43.656-07:00ok, exciting- a lot of work! But so much charm. Yo...ok, exciting- a lot of work! But so much charm. You will be spending a TON of money on that beauty- but it's all the work that makes it so fun- <br /><br />I think I would keep the purple- make it your last project anyway- so fun to live in a purple house for a little while. My girls would be in heaven with a house that color. <br /><br />It looks haunted by the way- a big old DEDICATION on that place-Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07457923626670873884noreply@blogger.com
