These are a few of my favorite things.

We rented this house sight unseen.  Which really could have been a disaster.  However, we did rent it through somebody that works for the same organization that ZZtop works for.  So, we had a little faith. And I was really excited to find that it had a similar layout to the houses I've been attracted to in the past.  If you recall, I've been house hunting more than I have been vehicle shopping.  Or so it seems.

I'll share a few of my favorite aspects of this house.

A huge window that I can look out of as I wash my dishes.  And granite countertops.

 I do, however, really miss my cupboards in MI.  Ooooh, they work well for me.

 I love that the kitchen and the living room are so open to each other.  It's dreamy.

 I, however, am not a fan of built-ins.  They demand to be cluttered.  Why do people want a wall of clutter? I don't understand it.  We have a stipulation in our lease agreement about the number of nail holes we can have.  So, therefore, we chose to forgo any picture hanging.  As you can see in the picture above.  Which is a bummer.  Because, I totally packed wall hangers.  Not things like vases, that sit on flat surfaces.  Shoot.  Eighteen months of white, bare walls.  Ack!

 Oh, well.  The backyard makes up for it.  The fenced in back yard.  With an acre.  In this highly populated area!  And, look!  I have a covered porch on a bi-level deck.

So, it all evens out.  If you want to see anything else, I guess you just have to come to visit.
