Location Location Location

They say that location sells a house and it may be the reason we bought this house.  Take a walk with me.

Outside meet the big trees out front.

The house is solid and needs a good power wash, but the roof is new and let's walk around back.

Yum!  What's that I see?  More BIG TREES?  Yippee!  And a playhouse to boot.

Let's zoom in and see what that thing is beyond the trees.  Oooooh a lake!

And now, we'll take a walk indoors where we meet some fugly carpet and mahoghany trim. 

The window coverings are sure to block the view.

We've lived with avocado green fixtures before and we'll have to put up with these for the next year or two.  But they are clean and functional.

My brother drew up a floor plan of the place for us and listed a few light fixtures....

See?

Now couldn't this kitchen win the ugliest kitchen contest.  Here's the bonus, what you can't see is that there is a pantry on the left blocking lower cabinets.  Someone actually went to the trouble to match up the pantry to those cabinets thus blocking off the functionality of the cupboards.  Ugh.  Hello IKEA kitchen event.

Happy Thanksgiving Canada!
