I would. Love the way the house is staggered. It seems to fold in on itself and give extra privacy. I'm thinking of the pool, of course, and me in a bikini. How I'd manage that God only knows, but I'd love to float around in it on a thingy in some privacy. I was actually born in that city, though I left as a toddler...would love to see the beachline as this country (maybe even the world) keeps closing in the empty spaces. Well...and yes, I'd develop the garage, 2nd floor. It should be a space with eye-access to the stars!

What are the consequences? Taxes and stuff. $600, 000 seems low. Wait a minute, no, it doesn't.

(you were a hoot in that). I did a very nice thing for someone who cannot do for herself; it's an on-going thing. I will make it in honor of your beautiful son...and you. YOU are a wonderful person. One of the thousand points of light. Good fortune!

But early voting has become so common that you won't even miss that thrill of being in on the action: Everyone else will be voting with you Wed, 31 Oct 2012 01:52:48 +0000 http://www.commentarymagazine.com/2012/10/30/obamas-early-voting-strategy-flops/#IDComment476715791 http://blog.diynetwork.com/blogcabin/2012/05/21/kitchen-crashers-get-the-sneak-peek/#IDComment366733782 I'm trapped in a city. Sounds wonderful with a martini, though, and some of those great outdoor 'candleholders' on the market this summer. Terrific. I want a house just to have a porch to have those candle holders. I'm sure Linda will include lots of them. Does Linda Woodrum do the interior for the blog cabin, too?

Some of the others are too masculine for me. But I love the unfettered space and minimalism.....the sleekness and no clutter. Thanks!

That is the commercial space renovated into a residential space, right? Then open space. I have seen these in the country and they are even more spectacular than in the city. Nature all around and then bam! an enormous, enclosed open space interspersed with furniture. Love it. Chic stainless steel mixed with woods is really great for these spaces. Wish there were more peeks available. When is the reveal?

Actually, I have no idea where the UO will be. It's too confusing. Hard to match urban and beach. Except in the Mediterrainean, of course. Oh, and San Fran.

It can be urban, it has a beautiful lake area. It's totally tourist-friendly. It has alligators. And, if it has tulips well...?

It extends past the suburbs to beach properties and ocean. But where would the Urban Oasis be relative to the beach front homes?

I looked at the 'coffee shop'. Yeah, its real nice. And your quilt is exquisite. Do people usually hang them? Anyway an extreme quality job. Congrats. I'm over on the Urban Oasis obsessing over the clues from h8ll. For these last few days of waiitng this has brought me through. However, their mysteriousness brings its own problems: what in the world do they mean? Hope Monica ambushes you when you are with Lars. He's so cute and I'm sure he's grown in these last eight months (I hear they do that at that age) and he looks completely different now. Best of luck!
