I'm Not Ready
September? Where did the summer go? I will be virtually sitting by the pool for another day or two. It's still in the 90's!

At least we should all be back to school by now.....week 3 for us. How about you?
Hello? & Real Estate Stalking
Well, I didn't plan on taking a week off, it just happened. The weather has been spectacular and I am now a power walker (4.5 miles/day)...that's a lot, for me. I installed this app on my phone, and enjoy tracking my progress. Honestly, the stress of everything was getting to me and this has really helped.
If you are getting this in your email, then welcome back and the blog delivery problem has been solved! When I mentioned that there was an email delivery problem, Kris sent me this link and I followed it, exactly. Thanks Kris!
Now let's get back to our mutual obsession for gorgeous real estate. My friends over at the Michael Lawler Group sent me some pictures from a new listing of theirs. Yeah, they know what we like to look at.
I'll just say it now, don't expect my next home to look like this one...I haven't won the lottery, yet. To see more of this home, go here.
Speaking of Florida real estate, we are headed down again next month to see if we can find a home. I am being super picky, so we may end up renting for a while.
And now, can I trouble you for a favor....please?....If you were having trouble receiving my blog by email and today it worked...would you please let me know. Thank you!
Pool, Pagoda, and Patio
Wow, I can't believe it's Monday already. How many of you are decluttering your homes? I was at it big time this weekend. I have a new system....I have a large box in my dining room and every time I walk by something that I no longer want, I place it in the box. I have filled 3 boxes so far.
There are so many wonderful charities that will come and pick up. I am going to rotate my donations between them..... and fight with my accountant on the value.
I was daydreaming about sitting around a pool, because that is what I do in the winter.....doesn't everyone? And I saw this stunning pool house designed by Muse Architecture.

I am so smitten with the metal roof and pagoda shaped cupola. I also love the Chippendale trellis.
This of course had me thinking about vintage iron patio sets.

Do you like painted iron furniture?
Did you watch Tina & Amy last night?
Real Estate Eye Candy
I think I may be starting a series.....or not. Last Monday, I was showing you a home that made me want to start over. As expected, that was good until the next one came along.
Just like a bad Jennifer Aniston movie (sorry Jen, but other than you...why would anyone go?) there will always be others.
I think I fell hard with the Chippendale detailing on the gates. That double brick drive with the grass insert leading to the front door is making me want to explore the home further.
I have always loved long stairways that wrap around a foyer....the thought of climbing those stairs is not as appealing.
Abundant white trim and millwork.
I love the drapery panels on the right and the roman shade on the left.

It's cool and crisp today.....isn't it August? Looks like Mother Nature is still mad at me.
I'm off to do laundry and spray painting. What are you up to?
