House Envy

Yeah, we've all got it to some degree. I've got it bad at times. Don't get me wrong. I have a terrific home, but I could use a butler's pantry and more sunlight, a bigger yard and a deeper basement. Last week I stopped in at an estate sale on Lincoln, not to shop, but to snoop. It was a house that I had envied. It was close to being a top ten house. Architecturally, this house has curb appeal. It's interesting and has nice lines, good location too. Inside, it was a dump. The kitchen was tiny and outdated. The bedrooms were tiny and had small closets. It was dark and the hallways were tight. It was so good to drive home empty handed, walk through my french doors, sit down at my generous island and look out at my blossoming garden.
