The Home Show

The last two week-ends we have had the Home Show going on here. We have managed to head to a few homes each week-end. I love homes and Dw has said for years that somewhere inside me is a frustrated architect begging for release!

I love farmhouses definitely most of all. They call to me and I wonder what stories they would tell if “walls truly could talk”.

Over the years, while driving down the road I have said, on a zillion different occasions, “OHHHH – look at that home/farmhouse/cottage/cabin — look at that architecture!” No surprise really then that over the years one could hear from even one of little ones in car seats in the back, “Mommy! Look at that house! Look at the architecture!” Apparently, my passion for architecture has been passed down. The kids even enjoy the home show with us.

Most of all though, I love staircases – they absolutely fascinate me! And so I confess right here and now that over the years, while driving at night, I have said, “Slow down Dw, their lights are on and maybe I can see the staircase”… I am really not a stalker lady I just want to see the staircase! Dw patiently slows and the kids all groan, “Mom, they’re going to see you trying to see in their windows!”

Anyway, homes in our area have typically more of a Mountain/Lodge look and they are beautiful ..see for yourself…..(crazy, big hefty price tag to match too – fun to look at, but the mortgage payment? – Not so much fun!)….
Cool bathroom counter top, huh? A big, old gorgeous hunk of wood all polished and spiffy! Aspen trees are soooo pretty!
The view while heading to homes up near the resort (about 45 minutes from where we live)..
The beautiful red cliffs, not too far from our home…


Ahhhhh – our most favoritest log home ever…..A Place Called Simplicity….

  1. I love houses too!! And farmhouses are my favorites too! (I thought my mom and I were the only weirdos who went gaga over houses.) The pictures you posted are breathtaking! I simply must visit Durango someday. : )
