Hexagonal house pics

[primsong]

Here's a handful of pictures! The front (everything is angled so it's a half-circle drive too) - even the garage is a slight parallogram instead of a rectangle.

I picked up some paint chip samples yesterday, a big wad weighing down my purse by the time I fished through them all, and next I need to go look at carpet for the bedrooms - I don't have any grey in my house at all and this has grey carpets throughout so they have to goooo.

I want to put shiny, multi-tone tile over the lower fireplace bricks. The kitchen is just off of the living rm -

with the various rooms coming off of the hall at fun angles -

I love the courtyard especially, the pergola has a propane fire pit in it and a waterfall with koi beside it. Guess I'll need to buy fish food!



SO much to do in the next couple of months...oy..... but happy with it!

The current fashion for light grey carpets is baffling to me. I mean, apart from anything else, they're just constantly getting dirty.

More to the point, though, that's an amazing house and I really hope you're very happy in it.

I've looked at an endless parade of greyed out houses this past year to the point you feel like it's all black-and-white photos, they just dip the house in grey and black everywhere. I love color so everytime I'd read it was "new and updated!" I would groan that they'd ruined it, especially when they painted all the wood and stonework grey too. Ugh...

It's a fashion that needs to die.

So lovely.

I'm sure I'll learn its quirks as we go but right now I'm enjoying the honeymoon phase with it, which is rather nice.

Beautiful!

[primsong]

I'm so excited!

That looks amazing!

[primsong]

And there's even a door that already has a cat flap in it! (very important feature).

Very cool!

I'm still a bit disbelieving that we found it - I've always dreamed of having an artsy house with a courtyard - and it's even up a hill so there's a view if you walk about a block.

Oh wow, it's lovely!

[primsong]

I know, right? I am really looking forward to getting to decorate this for Christmas!

Aw, thank you Daisy! I am a bit overwhelmed with the number of details to tend to to make this happen but I'm quite excited too. I have a knee that's starting to get wonky so going to a single level now instead of someday when I can't climb things seems to be a worthy goal - I've known people who waited too long and then suddenly had to move when their bodies gave out so they were stuck with whatever was on the market at that time, Younger Me doesn't want to do that to Old Me. ^_^
