My Wish List

Before we started house hunting, I wrote out a wish list of what we would be looking for in homes. 3 bedrooms, 1-2 bathrooms, a backyard, a laundry room (or at least somewhere to put a washer/dryer). I thought these were pretty basic... not asking too much. Boy was I wrong! While I can be optimistic and say that we have so much flexibility since we are not set on one specific town, I can also say... we have SO MUCH flexibility since we are not set on one specific town that I am driving ALL OVER MASSACHUSETTS trying to find the perfect place to live! Nothing has really seemed to be just right yet. While I can get over the horrific paint jobs, or the odd "built-ins" that these older New England homes seem to have, I hate to be picky with some of the non-negotiables.... like - enough room for your knees when you are sitting on the toilet! (my realtor posed for the photo shoot).

I know I have started to jump the gun- daydreaming of how to decorate our new home while we haven't even found one yet, but one of items on that list is to get a red couch. I am a bit scared to have that be a permanent decorating decision, so we decided to look for a red couch cover first. It's hard to find one that will fit a sectional! (It's hard to find a new home that will fit one too!). Any thoughts?

And of course, enough kitchen storage for all of our beautiful wedding gifts. I can't wait to unpack our china and our regular dinner dishes. Right now they are beautifully displayed on our make-shift china cabinets in our current dining room. (still in their boxes so they don't break when we move).

And of course- my never ending wish that my little devil dog wasn't so darn cute! Because I can never get mad & punish him when he does things like this......
...pulling the toilet paper from the roll across the house!
