a wonderful home
I fell hard for a house today. Weak in the knees and blushing cheeks hard. I have a thing for houses. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. (Hi, Angela. How are ya, sweetie?) This house wasn't my style really. But it was wonderful. Brian's newish co-worker had a party this afternoon at her (and her architect husband's) urban in-progress, mostly rehabbed very old home. It was the perfect combination of rustic and salvaged, urban and sleek, restored yet unfinished. Totally comfortable in every way. Around every corner there was a feast for the eyes- and camera lens- and I couldn't stop gushing. I hope they didn't find it terribly strange that I spent a lot of time taking photographs. It was all just too good. Well, I realize it was strange, but they're house people too. Obviously. So I know they understand.

It looks like a great house. I'm glad they understood you photographing - wouldn't want B to be teased at the office about his crazy wife!

I love houses, too. This was a cool one! I'm always scoping out other houses, even though I love my own. I was looking up the real estate info for a cool house down the street the other day.
