so i've been told by a blogging friend that i'm photo-stingy but if you know me, its more like photo- lazy! {plus blogger gets on my nerves when uploading more than 1 pic} so this morning i sacrificed my time and ignored laundry, dirty dishes, bathrooms and kaylee's whining to make this mosaic. the top row is the old house and front yard. see that nice retaining wall in the first photo? it cost us over $15 grand which was NOT covered by insurance and it did not add any value to the house when we sold it. that sucked! {welcome to home ownership!} i think what i miss about the old house is that after 10 years, it was close to being the way i wanted it- landscaping and all.the bottom row is our current place. the 3rd photo is looking out to the pond from our front porch. the 4th photo is our "woods"+fire pit area. we've had some great cookouts/get togethers out there and can't wait for warm weather to host more. and the last picture is our side yard which could house our pool someday. {we have almost 2 acres of land} while i love our current place i wish it had some character from the old house and i wish i was done with the decorating and landscaping so i could just sit back and enjoy it!
Both houses are so nice, although I have to say I am partial to white houses with black shutters. Beautiful land. Do you know how much that would cost you in California?
ReplyDeletePriceless...I don't think it even exists!
Love the mosaic!
Great collage!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to believe all the money you put into your first home when it didn't end up adding value to it. How frustrating! Your new home looks beautiful.
WOW! I love both homes!! Wow, when am I going to be asked over? lol! I absolutely love the trees in your old home photos. They add such softness to house. I agree, landscaping is key. You have amazing curb appeal for both homes. Your current home is to die for! Wowee. Thanks for sharing Miss Photo-Stingy. : )
