[quote=Anonymous]Can't take credit for much of anything in my house because I have only been here just over a year, but I am grateful for:

Beautiful mature landscaping with super tall trees -- those trees are like my cathedral.

The laundry room is off the kitchen and steps from the main level master BR which is HUGE.  Very large living and family rooms.  Kitchen is large but not huge and has a built in china cabinet that I love (about 6' wide).

Crown molding in every room I think... I know it's in my master BA, all throughout main floor and basement, maybe everywhere but the laundry room?

9 ft ceilings on the main floor.

I also have hardwoods throughout the house...Baths & kitchen are tile (kitchen is a old terra cotta that friends love - I am glad it doesn't show dirt).  Finished basement is carpet, but I might change that to hardwood.  Foyer is a gorgeous walnut parquet with a beautiful diamondish pattern.  I did refinish the foyer and it looks even more beautiful now.

I also have a large family room lodge-like stone fireplace -- it totally makes the room, along with the built in bookcases.  Front of the house has matching stone, and contractors and visitors think they are beautiful -- I do too.  I was kind of ambivalent about stone until I got this house -- now I love it.  Have two other fireplaces, one in LR, and a white brick fireplace in the kitchen -- it was converted later to gas which is convenient, and it makes the kitchen very homey.

Thinking someday I will do a screened porch or sunroom out the back off the kitchen.  If I do, I would love to do a stone wall up against the house or stone on the lower part of the walls below the windows to carry the theme.   And I might try to turn the gas fireplace into a two sided fireplace (if that's even possible?) so it can be used in the kitchen and on the porch.

Love my house, I have to admit....it has truly been a blessing and it gives me a lot of joy.  Even with all it's challenges and issues -- and there are many!!! I haven't told you about the dead squirrels in the attic, the invasive weeds that I've had to battle, the bad formica, etc... : )[/quote]
