Tomorrow we will take the plunge and hope for the best. We are putting in an offer on a piece of property, so send some good ju-jus our way. Here are a few pictures of homes I wish we could afford to build.
You get the idea...lots of windows mixed with a tad of industrial and lots of mid century modern.On a shoestring budget. No sweat!
I wish you luck on your bid for the property. I know that land is expensive and building a "dream" home is a big project. But I'm here to say that it's worth the effort and I hope you get a chance to experience what it's like.
ReplyDeleteI love that last photo. The living room is beautiful. I'm much more traditional but I wouldn't mind a living room like this. The floors are wood..., and all those windows. Wow! I'd just throw in a few antiques.
Well, I can only hope that you don't have to go through the nightmare I'M going through just trying to get a frickin' condo in Florida. Two weeks have gone by since we made the offer and I STILL don't have a loan in place! Yours will go smoothly since I have a total lock on all the bad voodoo around. Ha. Ha. Ha.
ReplyDeleteWishing you the best of luck with all of your hopes for your dream home.
ReplyDeleteIf you can dream it you can build it! Have you thought about Steel construction?
ReplyDeleteGood luck!! You should contact Better Homes and Gardens and see if they still offer the mid-century home building plans they carried years ago!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone. Mick, we have thought of steel construction and we are looking into it. I love the idea of no interior supporting walls and wide open spaces. (on a small scale) Barbara, I have been ordering books on ebay from 50's and 60's and they are full of fabulous plans.
ReplyDeleteGood luck! Good Karma! May the property gods smile upon you!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes on the new endeavor. We hope to be able to get a little piece of lake property at some point and build a mod "cabin". We can dream, can't we?
