A Gingerbread House for Christmas!

[Heidi & Milton]

Jeff and I finally bit the bullet, and we bought a YARD for the Milt!  Ok, we bought a house...!  As the post title alludes, why is it a gingerbread house?  Well, take a look for yourself.

Do you see the resemblance?

This is why one of the first things I have done in my early attempts to decorate is place my telltale holiday window clings smack in the middle of our kitchen window overlooking the sink.

It is a perfect match!

We finally decided on this house after many, many months of searching.  Jeff and I chose this charming home for a number of reasons.  First, the house is located in a very central area in the heart of Dallas.  It is still close to both of our jobs, Milt's daycare, and my yoga studio.  Second, I really wanted a period home with engrained character rather than something crisp and modern, although new can be nice too.  I just tend to always be a bit old-fashioned, and I like to drag Jeff along on my whims!  The Milt needed a yard, and this home just so happened to have one!  The last, and probably most important point, is the price was right!  The house should retain value, and despite having an endless laundry list of to-dos, we think we can make it beautiful and ours.

Milton is proud of his new home.

I do hope Milton realizes that this house is his Christmas present!  It is certainly ours too.

Look at you, sitting in front of your beautiful house, with shorts and flip flop on. As I sit her and type it's 25 degrees out where I live ! :) I love your house, and especially those windows ! It has so much charm. You probably can get rid of the satellite dish on the side of the house. Looks like Milton could bring in a good signal ! LOL

Gorgeous home (I really wanna see the inside too.  I bet there is some gorgeous wood work and character).  I've always wanted a house with this type character!
