weekend update 1/31/05 - the house jawn

...isn't she the cutest?

Bakers Dozen c/o KB via ej.

  1. Ice storm in Atlanta chills traffic, shuts down the airport, and clears the streets. Except for Leah (pic above) - she's been cleared to drive in the snow!

  2. And I really want my fellow Atliens to just stay home. Really.

  3. but my stubborn Buffalonian a$$ ventured out regardless...

  4. To a baby shower & a slumber party. Ah, to be young & fertile again.

  5. And despite the weather, I FOUND MY HOUSE!

  6. 'nuff said

  7. Needless to say, my realtor is impressed not only by my winter driving ability, but my dogged resolve to get that house TO-friggin-DAY.

  8. OK, so I did have to promise her hubby to not kill her in the process. She was perfectly safe with me - truly.

  9. And she got the builder to give me a lil extra off the top, for coming out in the nasty weather. How much do I LOVE my realtor now?!!!

  10. Can you say Kenneth Brown?

  11. Or West Elm?

  12. I just cannot wipe the shyt-eating grin off my face.



I need colors y'all. And furniture. And decorating ideas. We've got 6 months to build, and I know y'all are going to help me get this right, right??!!!

It's ballpark 2000 - 2600 sq ft (depending on the builder) and base price w/a brick front (that brick IS an upgrade) starting anywhere from $200K - $225K depending on the location. Starting is the word though - add in hardwood floors, marble vanities, granite countertops, carpet upgrades and that house can go easily for $250K-300K. I know that's WAY less than TO, but it's a buyer's market right now in greater Atlanta (incl. the 'burbs) - too much after X-mas inventory.
