Parade of Homes

This weekend, David and I went to the parade of homes and walked through about 25 houses (boy what a workout that was, with all those stairs!). We got lots of great ideas for decorating our house and we are excited. We even bought an electric fireplace (on sale) because we liked them in the homes so much! A lot of these houses have almost full walls of windows because they are all in neighborhoods still being developed. Windows can make any house look amazing with all that natural light and the beauty of whatever is outside. When our house was redone, we actually took some of the windows out and changed it to wall because we didn't want to be staring at our neighbor's house all the time. So unless you're secluded (like most of these houses were), it's kind of hard to have a lot of windows. However, some houses had really odd placement for windows such as this one house had a huge closet window that faced the front yard. Anyone could see you getting dressed in the morning! Isn't that strange? I'm happy with our layout of our house but sometimes it's hard to see the potential until everything is painted and decorated. We are getting there though. We're almost ready to paint the downstairs bathroom! Progress is progress. I'll take it!
