But I agree;...Getting lost is never a good feeling. But I agree; I won’t mind getting lost in this kind of place and neighborhood, because of the beautiful properties. It’s a good inspiration, especially for anyone that is house hunting like you. Speaking of which, what property did you end up buying? I hope you bought the ranch-style home you've always wanted.<br /><br /><a href="http://chaseintlestateca.blogspot.com/2014/07/guesthouse-management-101-basics.html" rel="nofollow">Lee Collins @ Chase International</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05307076492820252366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123205211639776960.post-25182738777223519912011-07-15T05:55:56.334-05:002011-07-15T05:55:56.334-05:00I think I'm probably lumping together several ...I think I'm probably lumping together several different styles here but I love the style of a lot of the American and Canadian houses that I've seen. They stand on their own little bit of land, without the neighbours crowding you and no two houses are alike.<br /><br />In England, houses tend to be built in long, ugly lines of identical brick things and it's depressing. I'm not a recluse or anything like that but I really could do without a dozen other houses pressing in on me. But if I wanted that kind of property here, I'm looking at a crazy <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.movewithus.co.uk/forms/house-valuation">house valuation</a>. Wouldn't be able to get near it.<br /><br />More realistically, I want a power shower, a huge brick barbecue, a fireplace and a dandelion in a pot. Call me unambitious but a huge, luxurious house just doesn't appeal to me.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13045900017958513722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123205211639776960.post-72339934722541292772011-07-08T16:03:48.124-05:002011-07-08T16:03:48.124-05:00Gorgeous!

I think with the vintage furniture in view, that they probably are a hip younger couple who totally "get it" or an aging couple who totally "got it" the first time around! :-DAmber Von Feltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12893607211762877902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123205211639776960.post-78376029175150961502011-07-04T09:19:02.333-05:002011-07-04T09:19:02.333-05:00I think you have a great idea.

I have always appreciated many styles of decorating and architecture. As I have gotten older, (gasp), I find that some of them fit ME better or my lifestyle.Plus sometimes I just get plain worn out on some styles! We just returned from a trip to the beach and looked at two homes I never would have stepped in years ago. A Brady Bunch inside Spanish style outside home, and an amazingly cute MCM built in the 80's ? go figure! I absolutely could see myself moving on from my 100 year old bungalow to one of them. You should take a trip to Chicago to Oak Park - that neighborhood is amazing. FLW studio is surronded by all kinds of jaw dropping fun! Plus you get to do Chicago!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08037462254679207753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123205211639776960.post-43950781857254560142011-07-03T16:23:00.337-05:002011-07-03T16:23:00.337-05:00Oh my gosh, I LOVE that house!

I always wonder if the people who live inside houses like these know that they live in a dream house. I always hope that they're not jaded to it and that when they drive into their driveways, they say, "Wow! I live here!"<br /><br />My dream houses usually seem to be ranches but I can fall in love with a house in any style if it has that certain *something*.Eartha Kitschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08189308677139650882noreply@blogger.com
