Tossing Around

The Hubster and I have been having many a conversation lately about a possible move this time next year. Yes, sniffle sniffle. Where would I be happy with going he has asked? Well He wants Signapore. GULP!! Not too sure I would go without a TON of kicking and screaming and tears. I said France or most anywhere in Europe would be nice. He says no. Then there is my ultimate choice of staying stateside. He has been asked abt going to Beaumont. He has been there and done that staying in an apartment and driving the hour home when not busy at work. Then it has been mentioned Baton Rouge. We all have been there done that. The only difference is that this time I would happily go without any kicking or screaming. It is not my first choice simply for three reasons. One traffic sucks. Two the boys would have to be in private school and three housing is sooo expensive. With all that being said I have been browsing what is available stateside just to prepare myself for maybe an impending move. Today I found a dreamy house in Baton Rouge. 

Now this home is not in our top choice neighborhood simply because there are no trees and it is close to the train tracks. The Hubster will say no  cause of all the stucco which is a pain when trying to sell. Matter of fact his company may not even let us purchase said house even if we wanted to because of said stucco. But lets go inside shall we!?

Yep, in love right off the bat! Look at that to die for chandy!

Can we purchase the furnishings as well please!?

I do not normally like lighter flooring but this I could deal with. It is very rustic.

A fireplace in the breakfast room. Could that be anymore charming?

And the kitchen just stole my heart. It really could not get any better I tell ya.

Love the window above the tub. We had one just like that in our Baton Rouge home and if we stay I hope to one day have one in our current home.

So, dreamy uh!? Its a teeny tiny tad over what we would want to spend but just maybe we could swing it. It would also be interesting downsizing from our 3700 sq ft to 2500 sq ft but I think I could manage some how.
 I will share with y'all the beautiful home in Beaumont I found too so come back now ya here!;)

P.s These pics were borrowed from the FSBO site. If this is your home and you prefer me to take down the pics I will sadly do so but please know I truly think your home is just beautiful and just wanted to share!:) If we do move back and your home is still available we WILL be stopping by. 

P.s.s If you have ever left stateside and have lived in Signapore please share with me your experience cause as of right now I am in a "heck no I won't go" kinda mode.

Crazy...

Yeah, I very well may be just that, CRAZY! Why else would I be up at 1:15 am looking at Real Estate in a state I do not even live in anymore! Ha! I have this thing where from time to time I look up our old neighborhoods to see if our previous nests have been put back on the market. Am I the only one that does this!? I am always intrigued on what the inside now looks like. What changes the new owner may have done. What houses are selling for now and did we make a good deal. Ya know all the things that are pointless but that I still think about.

Anyways, I came across a listing for a home we use to walk by all the time. I LOVED the outside of this house. I always felt it was soo charming. At the time we were looking though it was not near being ready. It probably had 2 more months to go. Anyways, here are some pics of the home and clearly the owners recognized charm when they saw it as well!

I just always loved the carriage house hardware on the garage door. I plan on adding it to ours soon. Maybe for Mothers Day.

Look at that red front door! It is just calling to invite you right on in.

See the front doors are even red on the inside! I am so loving the wood beams and how she added the corbels to them. My kind of gal!

How quaint is their living room! I am soo loving the china hutch in there and the antique laundry hamper she has filled with pillows. That brick wall is to die for!

I am a sucker for toile and she has it mixed in thru out the home. See that turquoise clock peeking around the corner?! I so want one for our landing going up the stairs. She even has the ceilings painted a robins egg blue. Very french country I think.

Digging the french country blue and crisp white cabinets! In our next nest I want white cabinets.

I love the toile curtain she has here and how she positioned the curtain half way down the window!

Then here is the master suite. A little dark for my taste but none the less beautiful. If we were house hunting there again I soo would be wanting this house! Too bad I never knew the owners. I have a feeling though we would have gotten along rather well. Credit for the pics goes to Zillow!
