Welcome home!

I think part of it comes from being the daughter of a Real Estate Broker, but I've always loved houses.  I remember as a child the excitement of going with my father on a showing - I loved the feeling I got when I first walked into a house, discovering how the rooms unfolded, thinking about who used to live there - and later, thinking about how I would have redecorated, where I would have put furniture, how I would have hung artwork.  It was always easy for me to see the potential in a house, or when a house had bad bones.  There are certain streets I love driving down to see particular homes and their landscapes, and even though I've bought my first home, I still can't help myself from picking up the real estate section of the paper every week for ideas and inspiration.

I've started this blog as an outlet for my love (obsession?) of houses and what goes in them, and for my love of my own first little house.
