It was an awesome experience. I wonder how many realtors from Venezuela there are in Texas?!!!

Thank you so much Pam! I’m loving the freedom to troll Craigslist lately – I tend to get my best ideas from new finds and I’m sure you can relate! 😀

Thank you Stephanie! I so feel you on the kitchen issue! Doesn’t it feel awful to look at something someone obviously spent a good chunk of change on and all you can see is how terrible it is (and maybe your realtor thinks it’s great)? (Cue that scene from Zoolander, “I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!”) Hopefully you can find a way to adapt it to your taste!

Thank you Jessica! No, that wasn’t our realtor (or the other realtor involved) – that would have sure been a fun coincidence! How neat that you were an exchange student in Venezuela. It must have been an awesome experience!

You know, it just might very well be the same neighborhood duplicated – it’s kind of funny how they do that! There is no closet in the laundry room, but that would sure be nice! 🙂

P.S. I think “Silver Strand” just might be a lovely pairing with pickled oak! My parents have a similar blue/green/gray color in their dining room with a limed oak dining set, so I can definitely see the two color families together!

Ooooh, your plan for your home sounds absolutely beautiful! I love that you’re really embracing the kind of home you ended up with and running with it. I’m a firm believer that you have to listen to your house and figure out what it wants to be when it grows up 😉

Thank you so much, Jenn! I’m so excited to share – I’ve gotten a slow start on the living room and now I just need a few new finds to help direct the other rooms! 🙂
