Not enough

This weekend was really not enough, even with the extra day I took off of work.  Not long enough, not enough time with my sister, not enough time to enjoy the brilliant spring weather that we've finally been walloped with.  Not enough sunny hours spent on the patio, sipping on Pimm's cups, and not enough time catching up with friends either.  Definitely not enough time spent looking for and test driving cars.

The house I'm featuring this week is also something I cannot get enough of.  I might even risk saying that this is the first house that I've found in Dallas that I would actually consider buying.  Sure, Dallas and Texas weather doesn't particularly lend itself to indoor/outdoor living, what with the West Nile scare we've had for the past few years, but how beautiful and light are these spaces?  The trees look like they provide plenty of cover and somewhat contain the privacy of the home's inhabitants while filtering in the sunlight during the day.  At night, lit up, this house looks like a jewel box.   I'll bet this is one great party home.  The only change I would make?  Putting a pool in the backyard.  Then it's just perfect in time for summer.

  1. Oh it's soooo pretty! It's like a tree house! Although I'm not certain how much I love the green tiling in the kitchen.

  2. "Somewhat contain the privacy". Not enough. ;) It's pretty, but too much glass for me to live there. Happy to visit though!

  3. I agree: the weekend was much too short. But short though it may have been, I hope the visit with your sister was fabulous.

    As for the house, it is lovely . . . but I could never live in a glass house. My klutz factor alone would make it a bad move. :)

  4. OH MY GOD, I forgot about Pimms. How could I forget about Pimms? I'm SO lame! Next weekend. Maybe tonight. I'll report back. This house is gorgeous. I love all those windows (who cleans them do you think? Neel?), and we'll just need to invest in skeeter zappers. :)

  6. I really want to know who we file a complaint with about this whole two-day-weekend breakdown. Why do we only get two days? Who decided that was enough?? It's never enough. And I'm so happy you had such a full, wonderful one with an extra day! xo

  12. Ooooh this house! I love it! It's absolutely beautiful!

  13. Yep, I could totally live in that house.

  14. That house is less than $500,000?! Sometimes, I wish I could stand living in Texas ;). Housing prices up here are ridiculous for anything fairly new and in a good school district.

  15. WOW this is a beautiful house. Are you still considering buying?

    I hear you on the "not-enough-time". My schedule has been thrown out the door because here in Arabia, time doesn't even exist! :P
