To take on such a project had to be sought after by a right brained person and that was confirmed when I read you would have an art studio. I love your commitment to vision and creation. It makes my heart light. Hi there, in thinking of painting a bedroom red your image of a red room popped up on google, so I skimmed through your photos of the house.

I didn't even know you were househunting. That was a fun jpg walk-through. Kona and I sat here wishing we come visit. What a superb project for you and Karsten. I look forward to seeing what you do with it. Congratulations! I didn’t even know you were househunting.

I'm so glad you popped in to take a peek. :-) Yeah, a real estate agent in a cape is definitely not something I expect to see outside of Portland. Hell, I can't say I ever expected to see it <i>in</i> Portland. Did we ever tell you that Karsten got a job installing custom closets when we needed money after we moved back to Chicagoland? My dad recommended him for the job based on seeing Karsten's work on the Portland house. Lots of people think "eh" when they look at the pictures, but I think you have to see it in person (hint! hint, hint!) to see how much potential it truly has. It's definitely in an "eh" kind of state right now, but we're going to do a lot with it. So! Coming to visit? :-) By the way, you should really set up an account on LiveJournal. If ever someone should tell some interesting tales in her journal... I'll just bet you have some great sea-faring tales to spin. :-) LaDonna! I’m so glad you popped in to take a peek. :-)

The house definitely has loads of potential! Boy, Karsten will have so much carpentry experience he could easily get a drywalling job if ya'll need a little spending money! I kept look through the pix going, "Eh" but then I saw that yard - Wowzer! Talk about potential. Maybe it'll be in "The Best of Nashville Yards" some day! :-) Thank God the most we have to do to "remodel" is varnish some handrails!
