If only....

Browsing online the other day I came across the most adorable little house...one that I definitely can see has potential to be very cute.  Of course this house needs a little TLC, but I was up for the task. After eagerly researching the house and falling even more in love with it, I broke the news to Brett.  Like myself, he loves the unique houses and not cookie cutter houses that are a dime a dozen (especially in Burleson, TX...ALL the houses look the same!!)  Anyways, Sunday after church I was able to convince Brett to take me by the house....bad decision.  I liked it even more...I could tell by peering through the windows that the floors would need polished (hardwood throughout the whole house) and all the walls would need painted...but thats ok because I was totally envisioning what colors would go on what walls!

Well, out of curiousty I e-mailed the realtor to see if we could maybe see the house her e-mail back wasn't what I was hoping for....my now dream house looked like it would to turn into a disaster dream house.....before even being able to move in it would need a lot of repairs....windows, foundation, patio and stairs.  Personally, I don't think it is a good idea to buy a house that has foundation issues :(  Oh, and did I mention that there is no AC unit and we live in Texas....currently it is 111 degrees outside!  111 + no AC = BAD!!!!

Not that we were even going to buy the house RIGHT now, I am still depressed....however, my quest for a cute house with character that I can pour some love into and create into a home continues.


Now, here it is 1900 Lipscomb.  Some handy-man can get this house and fix it up....but neither Brett or I are handy when it comes to fixing foundation and stairs so its not the home for us.
