A yummy Spanish style home in our little town…

I’ve passed by this home….many a time.

Landscaped it in my minds eye

it always looked a bit…well…undone on the outside

But I could see she was a beaut.

I stepped inside the other day yes I was invited

And fell in love :: cue soppy music ::

Mizner Style 1930’s…one of the first of the homes in our little town…

It has been owned by one family the whole time

so... has so much integrity

and original fixtures and fittings

You can really feel the soul of this home in the gorgeous floors and windows and doors

and it doesn’t scream ostentatious which a few or more than a few homes around these parts do

But it DOES have ten bedrooms and 6 baths

AND the original kitchen…or semi original kid you not.

Dayum I love that sink…Now THAT is a baby washing sink!

So…this vintage mission house was for sale for 696K

I thought I can figure that out…somehow we could swing that.

Um…I missed the 2 mill in front of the 695K

…nevamind…

But maybe you can swing it….check it out here

Dog Days of Summer…..

In the true heat of a tropical summer

we spend a lot of the

evenings

here

Under the fan

by the pool.

So does he.

King of the dog days…

Stay cool my friends….

Join me in the tub…

well…you don’t really need to join me

you know, social rules and all…

but sink into this

which belongs happily to this…

...and when done pampering

come hang out here for a bit

notice the south American or Portuguese textiles. oh.

Ramble on inside again

if you will...

Take in the rustic simplicity of the living spaces

And the kitchen…

ok…

I dunno about you

but I’m stayin’.

A friend sent me a link to Actor Ben Stiller’s compound for sale in LA

A mere 12.5 million clams and this baby could be yours

or better yet…mine!

This is just the outside and the Outdoor rooms...

Meet me after the post for a group defibrillator shock….

My heart just about stopped. This is my kinda pad!

just sayin’.

A sweet side entrance…Lovin’ the ivy.

Front? look at the basket weave tile

It's those little things that float my boat

The color…the Urns…

Oh!

One of several covered patio’s...

…and another

Yep.

One more…for your seating pleasure.
