Hump Day Happiness: Katie's Dream Home

Yesterday I posted a nice countryside Vermont farmhouse listing from Sotheby's Vermont Country Properties, and I said I know I'm not the only person in the world who visits real estate sites in search of their perfect dream home.

Shortly after I posted, my sister Katie emailed me and said: "Your blog post inspired me to do some real estate searching... Low and behold, I found my dream home. Now all I need is 25 million dollars."

She directed me to this 17 room mansion on over 11 acres of waterfront land in Fairfield, Connecticut, priced at $25 million.

Now when I looked through the listing the first thing I thought was, "Oh man I would need a lot of books!" ... Just look at how many built in shelving units there are in this place. AND it's got a huge library!

Well that was fun... anddd here I go, back to reality.

West River Farm Listing

I KNOW I'm not the only girl, or guy, who likes to go look at real estate sites and daydream about the perfect country home. I found this cutie listed on Sotheby's Vermont Country Properties site.

The home definitely needs some interior design help, and a fireplace makeover, but those are all easy fun fixes! The location and views and layout looks really awesome! Ok, back to reality.

Friday Fabulous Friday

Yes, it is Friday! This week was a tough one. Even though it was short! A few co-workers were up from the DC office so the week was filled with meetings. The thing with meetings is they disrupt the work you need to get done, and then when you come out of the meeting you have 5 more ideas and things you need to do. Wow!

Well Mike asked if we can go tag sale-ing again this weekend. Know what I said? YES YES YES! He's awesome.

Here are a few finds from last weekend's endeavors!

[tag sale finds]

I spent about $35 and I came home with:

cupcake baking tray
living room side table
4 candles
"Made in Vermont" cutting board
cooler with wheels
blue and white throw blanket
light house decor
2 umbrellas
wood crate
wine opener
green lamp

Wait don't peek! I'm still living out of boxes! I have no where to put a bunch of my stuff because my awesome desk didn't fit in my room :(

[pardon the mess]

[clutter!]

This weekend my goal is to find a desk or a vanity that will fit in my tiny bedroom door!
