And yay for me. Friday I saw the house twice, then we went back and made an offer on Saturday. I knew it was our house! We've been saving ideas for years, mostly from movies and magazines. Some of my favorites:
Something's Gotta Give
Something's Gotta Give
Father of the Bride
Home AloneGive me white windowpanes, black shutters, bookshelves, and wood floors. Traditional, classic, whatever you want to call it. I didn't realize how stuck on these things I was until I started looking at houses. As luck would have it, after months of looking at "Old World Texas" architecture (whatever that is?) I found this:
With a little planning we hope to turn this:
Into something more like this:
Something's Gotta Give (Again!)
I'm so very excited right now. We're closing May 28. My mom, sister, husband and many friends have had to hear me whining all of this year about not finding the house. They were all too fancy, too dark, too big, too something! I'm so grateful for this turn of events. I'll be holding my breath until closing!

Julie, sooooo.....I read your blog and I just had to comment and take myself from blog lurker status to full on commentee. I hope me admission doesn't drive you to privatize your blog....anyhoo, the house is INCREDIBLE! I can tell you have incredible taste because I too love that Somethings Got To Give house...I just can't believe houses like that actually exist! Congrats on finding this gem!
Both of the libraries look identical. I'm glad you found the perfect home for you guys. All you are missing is the beach from the movie but the pool works. Have fun decorating it.
And your bratty sister was there to tell you all the reasons she did not like the other houses! :)
Yes, this is THE one and I'm so excited for you! Can't wait to get into that pool!
INSANE! I love it! How great that you've found it! We can't wait to see it! Just a few more weeks!
Woa, May 28th? Holy smokes, girl!
It is beautiful Julie! Wow - I am jealous of those bookshelves and that amazing pool - and you still have lots of fun yard to play in. Good luck with all the moving. We close on our new house in two weeks and I haven't packed a single thing yet! Maybe I should be working on that instead of looking at blogs.
You are living the Dream! What a beautiful home. LOoks like you can host some pretty awesome 4th of July partys there!
Ok! You definately need more books to fill all those book shelves! LOVE IT! It is practically perfect in every way! Congrats - and we are definately coming over to swim this summer!
Congrats! You and Anthony have always had great taste, can't wait to see the final decorating!
I LOVE this house! Why don't they build houses like this in ID? Congrats. I hope everything comes through quickly and without hitches. Maybe we'll get to see it in person this fall:)
Beautiful Julie! Can't wait to come visit and see it in person (I'm invited, right?) :) Good luck the next month. We were just through that. We didn't find the perfect house....I settled :( But hopefully we will in the next few years!
LOVE IT! I need to bookmark this blog post to remind me what I like when I'm overwhelmed and house hunting in 3+ years.
Wowwzerr!
