{2nd} Homes I Love...

Kill Devil Hills, NC aka OBX. Although we live at the shore, a very similar shore, it's one of my favorite places on earth. I have family that migrated from NJ there, have spent alot of time there and apparently I have a realtor there...Realtor *Greg* has sent me listings for a couple of years now. Mostly the listings are beautiful and unattainable or cheap and really dumpy (I'm talking trailers in marshes with beer bottle art) Then I get this listing. The above is the view from the Oyster Point condo. I'll take a bay~nature view anyday....
Bright, clean and nice doors to the balcony...
Fireplace and built-ins...good, good...
Groups of windows...okay not my "wall of windows", but a nice grouping. Again, clean and bright.
Nice door and pleasant entry, I can work with Parquet flooring...


So I am wanting this place so bad I can taste it...it's literally the price of a luxury car loan (or two). Two beds, 2 full baths, fireplace, low taxes and hoa's, canal front with the sound beyond....TEMP-TING. We are a few years away from having a second home (although Publishers Clearinghouse drawing is mere weeks away...), I can dream....


Who out there has a vacation or second home? Is it comfy or opulent? Furnished new or with thrifted finds and cast-offs? I love the thought of decorating a vacation home purely with found items...talk about a blank slate, it would teach me to be more creative!

One week from today...



This is where I'll be... Thanksgiving with family on the Outer Banks and it can't come soon enough. It's been a rough few weeks and I need a little OBX to deflate and refresh. Best of all, it will be Brennan's first time to his Mommys favorite place :-)
