Who let the cheese out ...... who, who, who, who, who ???

And can't stop looking for my dream house. Still haven't found anything really close, and beginning to think I might just have to buy land to build it.

I'm with you on the house thing...

Planning a move to another state in the next year. Still need to sell the one I'm in, but the looking at what's available now is obsessive.

It is soooo addictive! And the scary thing is that 99% of the houses I'm seeing are just... horrible. And I don't mean their paint choices or terrible furniture. Just ugly or gross layouts and no flow for the rooms or well thought out placement of the house itself in the landscape. Stuff you can't fix easily if at all...

Oh girl... If you only knew what I've seen.

The worst one for me was the really pretty from the outside traditional looking house that the owners decided to tile the entire downstairs level... in cheap 6-inch ceramic bathroom tile.

In white, with accent tiles in maroon and forest green.

Over a two thousand square feet of obvious bathroom tile through the entry, living room, den, dining room and kitchen.

And they thought it would be cute to put tiles on the front kicks of the stairs. And painted the entire lower level dark, dark DARK green. And the living room/great room area had a wallpaper border of wolves with Indian maidens (see attached image for the general idea). This was not a house in the Southwest U.S., and the owners did not have a drop of Native American blood from the looks of them, but we were told the wife felt she might have been an Indian Princess in a past life, and decided to decorate the house to reflect what she thought was "Native American flavor." SO imagine an entire house designed around this idea, and with questionable decorating methods, a heavy emphasis on stereotyping, and just plain terrible taste. I'm restraining myself from contributing further comment on that.

The kitchen cabinets had been "distressed" by owner as well. I'm pretty sure that involved her grabbing a hammer at some point and beating them randomly with it and then slapping a few coats of paint (more dark wall paint - with no sealer) on them an then using a very linty rag to wipe the paint to expose the original cabinet color (which was white). But it was very, very obvious that it was a amateur that did the distressing.

The entire downstairs felt like a YMCA locker room from the 1970s in a slasher movie - dark and claustrophobic and echo-y. With airbrushed wolves, horses, teepees and Indian maidens and other random "authentic" decor.

While most of the horror was cosmetic, the sheer amount of things that would need to be replaced completely or redone - all flooring, all walls painted - the upstairs was *quite colorful* as well, complete kitchen gutting, "designer" color fixtures - meant it was a big no for us even if the layout had been good (it wasn't). But it was one that left our buyer's agent speechless when we first walked in (it was a "hey this house is for sale and it's a good location/specs sound good" situation and no pics up on the website yet so we didn't know what to expect).

We knew instantly we didn't want to even consider a lowball offer, but had to go look through the rest of the house just to see if it really was all that bad... yup, it was.

Another WoW player here. Fire mage. This is the best XP in a loong time.

I am also completely obsessed with clothes. There are so many beautiful things I could never have worn six months ago, so I have been window shopping like crazy (Microsoft Windows, that is). I'm allowing myself one great new piece a month, but I'm taking tremendous pleasure in choosing that piece. I am supplementing with thrift store finds, though. I needed something a bit warmer and found a like- new Marmot jacket for $8. I'm wearing it every day, but it's going to be too big before the season is over.

English Breakfast tea (decaffeinated)...Alex and Ani bangle bracelets, and waiting patiently for the day when I can see my collar bones again.

Currently obsessing with selling my investment property.

Got a buyer, now heavily negotiating the sale price.

Hope it is over soon!

I wish I had Nothing to obsess about, like you @LisaMergs

Hey!!! That's my house!

Just kidding. Mine is full of my husbands deer mounts, turkeys, ducks... it's great. <-- sarcasm at its best.

I've accepted the 2nd offer! The first one was too silly, far too low.

2nd offer was lot higher and much better.

Fingers crossed it sells soon!
