SOoooo we took the drive with 6 of us, 2 of the boys & thier wives.
The guys heard about this great deal on a cottage.
It is closer than the place we have, in a way different direction from home.
But this is the cottage..... drum roll ........................
And this.......................
OK.... the guys are seeing potential.... : ) telling us that we will "fix it up" :)
even make a few bucks.... "flip it" they said : )
Yea.... the girls are talking screen porches, fireplaces, furniture.....
( and really hoping that the offer we make on this one,
is WAY TOO LOW for the owner of this sad little place )
What do ya think????
At least it was a nice drive & dinner out : )
You are paying for the view. Everything else can be fixed, changed, torn down, rebuilt and what a fun family project. What great blog posts that would inspire. :)

Kathy, me again. Sorry you didn't get the cottage. We had some friends that just bought a lake house up off of Lake Michigan in the Chicago vicinity. I think they bid on four properties before they finally bought something. Half the fun is looking and the other half is pulling it together. Enjoy the hunt.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and commenting on my violin. :)

Wooooaaaaaa....nice view for sure...but the building looks a little scarey.
ReplyDeleteLOTS of work, but maybe that could be a good time for family bonding????

Love the view!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAre you up for all the work?
I always say..."Anything COULD be Fabulous with a little elbow grease and imagination"
I'd sure like to see what you'd do to it!

I've always wanted a little cottage I absolutely love it! With some updating you could be in a cottage living magazine :)
ReplyDeleteThe view in incredible!!! My parents took a chance on a lake lot 30 years ago. Built a tiny little cottage that they stayed in for years on the weekends. Now they have an incredible house (for all of us to stay in) with beautiful gardens and Whit(my daughter) and her new husband are living in the cottage!!! DREAM BIG!!
ReplyDeletePS.... You are not missing anything on these channels!!

Thanks for stopping by my blog! The view from the cottage is amazing...but if this one isn't "the one," I bet another will come along that is just right for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog! The little cottage has a great view! The name of the paint I used for my little chair is Valspar Top Banana Satin.

ReplyDeleteHey Kathy...thanks for stopping by tonight!
ReplyDeleteHave you decided on the property yet?

Very pretty view. People are not flipping though like they use to, no risk taking these days. Thanks so much for your opinion, I would love for you to come and help.
ReplyDeleteFarah comment cracked me up....however, that is exactly what I was thinking today when I was styling it:) Thanks for the input.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous view! It would be a lot of work but I am sure it has so much potential! My aunt and uncle have bought MANY a UGLY house in their day and have made them fabulous!
ReplyDeleteAlso, thanks so much for stopping by my blog and commenting on my bench. I am thrilled with how it came out. And great idea on the keys but we already have a mail center with hooks in our kitchen for our keys. Nothing is in the drawer as of yet! lol
Hey you!!! where have you been?! Hope all is well. Can you believe Fall is here? I wasn't ready for it until just a few days ago...now I'm enjoying all the colors and smells that Aumtumn brings.
ReplyDeleteDid you go to Allegan? I missed the last show.
That would be awesome if we could hook up next season for a whole day of vintage collecting.
Hugs,
Debbie@houseatthelake
Hi Kathy, I really appreciate your comment on my blog..I have been woefully inadequate in thanking folks for taking time to comment. Fact is I am losing comments and followers..I guess my tongue gets too sharp sometimes, and I get myself in dutch. LOL I am off now to backread your blog and get to know you better. Fact is..I could really use some friends.
ReplyDeleteI sure would like to live with that view in my face every morning. Beautiful.
Hugs,
glenda
Well with that view..girl..I am praying they take it...WOW..I can see the potential already and I'm trying not to be envious and jealous..my dream is to have a cottage that close to the water..how exciting and the memories that will be built...
