Dreaming of Our Right Sized House

Houzz
 So, you all know that our home is currently for sale.  
It is a little slow right now 
and the feedback from the showings 
that we have had has all been positive.  
I know that come Spring time 
we will be packing up the house and getting ready 
to move (thinking positive here).  
But where will we go?  
To be honest, I haven't given it a lot of thought.  
I am one of those realist people 
that don't dare to dream 
lest I jinx the whole thing!  
But in the past few weeks 
after the Christmas chaos was over, 
I have to admit that my mind has wandered 
past my realist ways 
into a few daydreams 
of what our next house might be like.

Mr. Beaux and I would really like to move 
out South on a bit of land.  
We would like to have at least 3 acres 
to roam around on with the dogs.

And the house has to fit our current needs...  
We need a master bedroom on the first floor 
for when we get older...  
I would love a big porch in the front, 
but it has to be the "right size" too.  
That's what my girlfriend and I have termed it... 
Not "Downsizing", 
but "Right Sizing".  
It makes sense...


 And since we will be out in the country...
And we DO live in the Midwest...
I am dreaming of a Country Farmhouse..

 I wanted to share this house with you 
that I found out in the country on three and a half acres.  
It is the perfect size for us 
with a great layout 
and the inside is just what I was looking for 
in our new house!

I know these pictures aren't the greatest, 
but you get the idea.  
You can go to Thillhomes.com to see better pictures.
 This is the kitchen that opens up to the great room.  
I am in love with the subway tile 
and the light gray granite or marble.

 Look at those beautiful windows 
that open up to the back yard.  Sigh!!!

 The layout is similar to what we have now...  
just without a formal living room 
that no one ever uses...


 I love the warm wood floors 
and the detail of the coffered ceilings.  
The front door and the formal dining room 
are seen in this picture.
More beautiful windows to let the sunshine in!  
The dining room has pretty wainscoting.
 Have you ever seen a house and completely fell in love?  Like it was built just for you?
More wainscoting in the office 
on the other side of the dining room 
with a door out to the porch.  
  The Master bath has a free standing tub!
Yippee!!! 
And look at the closet!  
Maybe I am dreaming?  
Can you picture the back yard all landscaped? 
And the BEST part... 
this house is HALF of what our current house cost!!!  
Well, as luck would have it the house has sold...  
But, I will continue to dream...  
I saved the name of the builder 
and there is plenty of land out there...  

Until Next Time,
Beaux R'eves,
