If I told you I loved you would you still respect me in the morning?
Our house…
is a very, very nice house
with two cats in the yard
life used to be so hard
now everything is easy because of you and our….
…Such a cozy room
the windows are illuminated by the sunshine through them,
fiery gems for you,
only you.
(We close in three weeks, rip up carpet, rip off wallpaper, paint, and THEN move in.)
(Dude can you believe that bathroom?! I’m in love with it. Original Boomerang Formica, mint condition,
Pink tile, Black floor tile..original, mint condition.
Love. It.)
Very nice place!

I love that bathroom! How exciting - a new home!
25 Oct 2007 at 10:02 pm
Dude, that bathroom would sell me on the house alone!
25 Oct 2007 at 10:09 pm
Congratulations! Your house is, indeed, a very very fine house.
25 Oct 2007 at 10:24 pm
CONGRATULATIONS, girl! Can we come and visit?

Hey, why has no one told us about the mirrored cabinet on bathroom privacy partition? Obviously someone wanted a view of their privates, because standing naked and brushing one’s teeth and looking in the large mirror - a little more to the left, that’s right, “Is that a mole or frosting that dropped of a piece of cake?”
And yet, the place is full of PO-TEN-TIAL! Great news; great pictures.

So happy for you - and a little bit jealous! MAZEL TOV!

Wow, a beautiful bookish house! I am FLOORED by the pink and black bathroom.
Some virtuous woman kept that thing pristine for 50 years and now you get to have it!
Congrats and good luck with the carpet-pulling etc.

CONGRATULATIONS!
I’m with you on both the bathroom *and* the wallpaper. Enjoy!
26 Oct 2007 at 10:45 am
It looks like a happy place. Congratulations! Will we get to see “after” pics?
26 Oct 2007 at 12:12 pm
yay! congratulations! three weeks and counting…
26 Oct 2007 at 12:40 pm
CONGRATULATIONS! A very, very nice house indeed.

My parents’ first house had a pink and black bathroom. Being three years old, I loved it. I *still* love it! So much better than yucky rental grey vinyl tile. Congrats on the house!
26 Oct 2007 at 4:56 pm
Congratulations!!! Looks like a ton of potential there, underneath the carpeting and wallpaper. You’re lucky to be in a position to do all that work before you move in. We couldn’t, and now we’re living with some wallpaper that has to be seen to be believed.
I really like the pink and black bathroom.
26 Oct 2007 at 5:21 pm
Dude. I love that bathroom.
26 Oct 2007 at 10:21 pm
Looks wonderful. Hope all the whirlwind goes smoothly for you.

Here I am looking at this pictures thinking WOW, I had this mental image of you and your style and these pictures do not match it at all (except the bathroom) then I get to the end and realize it’s not *your stuff* giggle. Congratulations! Good Luck! Can’t wait to see after pictures
27 Oct 2007 at 7:38 am
Coolio!!! Congratulations!
27 Oct 2007 at 8:05 am
I love it and can’t wait to see how different it will look with your stuff in there instead!
27 Oct 2007 at 8:18 am
Congrats! As one who has walked into a house and seen past the owners decorating style, you have quite a road ahead of you but it is so worth it. Our bathroom has all pink fixtures (tub, toilet, and sink) not because we wanted it but because it came that way. A deep, dark chocolate brown looks amazing with it. Have fun and good luck!

I love love love that bathroom. People and their boring, bland, beige style just depresses me. Our bathroom (vintage 1969) has aqua tile, and I love it.
Congratulations to the family and good luck with the wallpaper!
27 Oct 2007 at 9:33 am
It is perfect! Once you put your personal touch on it it will be marvelous.
Oh the bathroom with a deep chocolate brown would look divine.
27 Oct 2007 at 9:41 am
It looks like a fabulous house! Congratulations.
27 Oct 2007 at 9:56 am
It’s fabulous! Perfect. Mazel Tov!!
27 Oct 2007 at 10:40 am
AAAHHHHAAAHHHHH! I FREAKIN’ LURV IT!!!!
27 Oct 2007 at 4:17 pm
I’m singing along with you….
27 Oct 2007 at 7:48 pm
The bathroom is fabulous! Congratulations!
27 Oct 2007 at 10:16 pm
I’m glad you are in love with your pink bathroom… what does R think of it? Can’t wait to see the transformation of the house into a Bookish home!
27 Oct 2007 at 11:30 pm
Fabbo!!!
28 Oct 2007 at 10:27 am
It is such a treasure to find a house that has not been *improved*. Yay for you guys! That house will be Home to your family.
I have always loved that song, too
and sang it to myself as I read your post. But the second line is “…very, very, VERY fine house.” Three “very”s and “fine.” And “…the windows are illuminated by the EVENING sunshine through them…” And for those tiny and excessively anal corrections may I please have a virtual hug from Sophie?
28 Oct 2007 at 11:35 am
AWESOME, Wendy! Congratulations!! The bathroom is indeed fabulous. Love the floors with that pink tile.
28 Oct 2007 at 2:21 pm
I’m so glad you love that bathroom. It’s so awesome and I’m really glad that it’s being bought by someone who appreciates it.

That shade of pink will never let you down in the morning–your skin will always look luminous!
Congratulations on the new place!
30 Oct 2007 at 10:57 pm
GREAT! Congratulations. I so remember that song.
31 Oct 2007 at 9:15 am
So cute, the pink and black bathroom. Just perfect for siamese cat art, or a black velvet Elvis.
Congratulations.
