Hi Kim – I love the romantic idea of an older home, but I understand the work! A new one that looks like an old one might be good!

Thanks, Donna. Yes I really enjoy my comments. They are a wonderful source of thought and inspiration.

Congratulations on being in the Top 101 Artist’s Blogs …!!
I can understand why…I always look forward to reading your blog and the comments that your readers leave…you seem, on the average, to have very sensitive readers…

I too saw the paint can but would not have known what it was without your guidance….Just like that paint can, what are we leaving behind that will say that we once walked here and will we want it to be captured for posterity ?? I am rambling ……..

I’m sure you will find the home that has your name stamped on it Michelle
having renovated two beautiful old style homes I’m now happy to live in a spacious modern apartment with all the mod cons….oh but I do miss those open fireplaces and big old fashioned baths….
love the photo….
I can see the red lid of the spray can in the doorway

Kris – I would love an old home, but I worry about the amount of maintenance! I am sure the right thing is waiting for us around the corner!

Hi Michelle, I imagine you’re just making way for that perfect-for-you house. I agree with the others here, I’ll bet that no matter where you live, you will create a wonderful home. It is hard in this market, but it can be done if you want it. Good luck with your search!

My husband and I owned two homes (one after the other) that were pretty old, back when we lived in Chicago. And I grew up in a 100 year old Victorian. They all had amazing history, and as we remodeled them we found so many interesting bits of it in the walls and other places. Plus the energy in them from previous owners was something too. Here in LA houses easily cost twice as much for a lot less space as what the Midwest has. When we are ready to buy again, we will probably buy a loft or condo.

Thanks, Scott! That was a very lovely comment.

Hi Lana – I can’t imagine how my grandmother survived 90 years ago, never mind 2000 years ago! She told me that when she was a little girl, her windows froze tight and her bedroom was so cold, chamber water would freeze. Plumbing was all outdoor. I have to say that I draw the line there!

You lost that house because something better awaits, certainly! I hear you about modern mobility. I sometimes imagine how the Celts lived 2000+ years ago, in simple roundhouses, not always enclosed within the walls of a fort. We have it so much better these days than we seem to think!
