Top 2 Tuesday : Dream Homes



Top 2 Dream Houses.... what a perfect topic considering I've recently started looking at houses! I knew immediately what my #1 was going to be! Ladies, behold... my "if I had a million dollars" home....

What? Not exactly what you were expecting?! This house is actually on the market for only $99k, it's in the area of downtown Indy that I am in LOVE with (I beg ChrisChris to drive down a few choice streets just so I can see all the houses)... it's full of charming old houses. I would love to buy this old beaut, but I think she needs a LITTLE more work than I would be able to give her right now! Can't you just imagine what it looked like in it's prime?! Gorgeous.

My number 2 would be one of HGTV's dream homes... preferably this one. I think it was 2009's - can anyone confirm?
I die for wrap around porches (my parents home has one) The only downside, I don't want to live in California! If I can't have this gorgeous piece of land in... say.... Charleston, South Carolina or Jamaica/Dominican Republic... then I want it right here in Indiana. What good is a beautiful house if you can't enjoy it with your family and friends?!

Would you all come visit me in my new home!?

This is my dream house to a T! I want a huge porch! How beautiful. I think a perfect sunset and a glass of lemonade would go perfect with those houses!

I LOVE that last house - gorgeous!

And I think if you have the time/money/ability to fix up an old house, it's definitely worth it!! They don't make houses like that anymore!
