OK. It’s time. You’ve all been very patient. Some of you have begged. Some of you have even offered elaborate favors for just a brief shot at them.And, of course, a select few of you have already gotten a sneak peak.
By now it’s time to share them with the rest of the world…
My house. Or rather, my future house. Knock on wood, turn around three times and say “please, please, thank you, thank you to the God of Paperwork and Building Inspections.”
We begin with full frontal…
Allow me to give you the tour. Step into the front door…
And directly to your left you have the only room we have enough furniture to fill. Or, ahem, what we call the “ForMAHL Living Room”
As you make your way back out of the ForMAHL Living Room, you will notice my beautiful tile. And also, one of my favorite features of the house, the built in Shelves For My Husband’s Shit right inside the front door. First decorative item to be purchased - fancy bowl for fancy shelf for husband’s ugly not fancy shit.
And then we have the image that brought tears to my eyes the first time I saw it. Literally. The realtor did a little happy dance behind me. I am soooo bad at property poker. But LOOK at these countertops people!
I will spare you the 52 additional pictures of my kitchen that come next in the sequence. We’ll skip the dining room for a sec and go right to BAM! Big Ass Room. Er. Big Ass Monster. Room. Heh.
I do not have a SINGLE piece of furniture to put in this room. So it’s pretty much going to look like this, all the time:
Quick, turn back around. You missed my dining room…
And then we have bathroom, bathroom, bathroom. Mine. No kids or toys or squishy whales allowed. Or cats. Cats simply cannot appreciate this, I’m sure of it.
OK, OK, that’s enough. I’ll spare you the picture of the toilets. You probably won’t be as impressed by the fact that the toilet has it’s own door anyway. (but seriously! own door!!)
Should you ever come stay with me, this is where you will pee. There are two bathrooms that look exactly like this:
And that’s about it. I know people say you shouldn’t post what you had for lunch and stuff on your blog - and I’m pretty sure this qualifies as That Kind Of Boring Shit. But I don’t care.
Just be glad I didn’t slap you with the 10 pictures of the covered lanai (that’s porch in Floridian) and the lovingly shot pictures of my garage (double stall! garage door opener!! windows on the door! a SINK! and little stoppie thingies already installed!! YAY!!)

It’s beautiful!! I love it. (BTW, I really did not mean what I said at “These Walls Have Ears” about your toilets and strangers. You are 100% correct…they are still virgins…untouched by any ass.) I bet you are in 7th heaven right now…Do you have a pool too?
July 13th, 2007 at 12:14 am
What a beautiful home. I bet that extra room fills up with stuff before you realize it.
I’m glad all is going well in your new venture.
July 13th, 2007 at 12:22 am
Looks beautiful!!
July 13th, 2007 at 12:33 am
I’m sure the rooms will fill up way too quickly. I love the fixtures on your tub. If I could get paid to look at other people’s houses all the time, I think I’d be damned good at it.
July 13th, 2007 at 2:54 am
Uh… where do you sleep?
July 13th, 2007 at 3:45 am
oh wow! That place is beautiful!! Congratulations :-D
July 13th, 2007 at 5:55 am
And now? We must SHOP to celebrate… shh! Come with me, I know where the sales are.
July 13th, 2007 at 6:13 am
1. Your post would have been funnier if the title hadn’t given it away.
2. Did you take pictures of the actual bedrooms at all?
3. I love your new house.
July 13th, 2007 at 6:14 am
Angel: No, we decided to go with the one without a pool and use the cashola we saved to put one in.
But thanks for pointing out the one thing I don’t adore. Jeez. You have a knack for this!
jane: I’m hoping it fills up with some beautimous furniture as opposed to the crap cluttering up my current house. What are the odds?
Peggy: thank you!
Brandi: OOOH - you noticed the fixtures!! You’re right - hired!
NYCWD: didn’t you see the tub??
jason: Thank you!!!
AmyD: i have a task for you oh wise one (notice I said “oh” not “ol’”)
See that front window? How the hell do you window treatment THAT shit??
avitable:
1. Your bitterness about me not sending you boobie pictures is very unbecoming babe.
2. Yes. Lots. I have lots of pictures of white rooms with neutral carpet. I thought it best to leave those out.
3. Because it doesn’t have curtains?
July 13th, 2007 at 7:00 am
Ahhh….home porn.
This is just the tease, though, right? Will we get the more explicit content after you move in and start decorating the crap out of it?
July 13th, 2007 at 7:06 am
Just because I set up a tent outside your house until you get window treatments in doesn’t mean . . . never mind.
July 13th, 2007 at 7:13 am
July 13th, 2007 at 7:57 am
Gorgeous!! I don’t think cats can appreciate the bathroom, either. Or kids. Or husbands. Just girls and shoes :)
July 13th, 2007 at 8:05 am
Ooh shopping yes! Need new furniture. Must have new furniture. Haverty’s here we come!!
Those counters look gorgeous…some of us want more counter pictures….
Forget the men, we want counter pictures!!

Great house! I love houses in Florida. My in-laws live there and they too have the little shelf in the wall in the entrance. They have a decorative chachka there. Congrats!!
July 13th, 2007 at 8:16 am
I love that kitchen. And the bathroom. And the shelf. Hell, the whole house is nice!
July 13th, 2007 at 9:04 am
how exciting! i’m so happy for you. thanks for the house porn. it is probably wrong that i drooled the most over your bathroom, closely followed by your kitchen. but that is only because you didn’t show us the inside of hte garage. i love my garage. love!
oh, and about the pool issue. hope you have cute neighbors…use theirs!
July 13th, 2007 at 9:05 am
That is one awesome house. :thumbsup: You and your family will love it there. It is obvious!!!
July 13th, 2007 at 9:12 am
y not i: of course! once there’s an actual bed in the rooms…
avitable: perv :sex012:
Dave2: come on down!! New houses come with a WARRANTY for the first two years. How crazy is that?!?! Perfect for parties. :-)
Kellie: My cat likes to get her hair in my tub now. NOT going to happen in the jacuzzi.
Trish K: lol, i even have a close up of the kitchen sink. I’m so pathetic.
Chatty: I’m so glad we ended up with this style of Florida House and not the Golden Girls house!
Lynda: Thank you!!!
hellohahanarf: LOL, I love my new garage too!!! Re: the pool, there is a community pool - I keep telling myself it will be a good way for the kids to meet other kids.
I wonder if there are strapping college guys in the neighborhood too…
themuttprincess: Well… me anyway. The rest of the family remains to be seen.
They’re not as impressed by house porn as me.
July 13th, 2007 at 9:22 am
I’m not supposed to post what I had for lunch?? Damn!
The house is beautiful!
July 13th, 2007 at 9:35 am
See there you go. Where’s the trimwork and moulding? Why not a second floor so you would need stairs? See? SEE?! No woodwork, no job for RW.
This is all your fault.
Oh and thanks for that, btw. It’s been the best summer of my life!
(all jokes, congrats!)
July 13th, 2007 at 9:35 am
I wanna see the kitchen sink!!
July 13th, 2007 at 9:43 am
July 13th, 2007 at 10:54 am
Sorry…
. The good thing about putting your own in is that you can specify the dimensions, and when you are able to swim in it, you will know that, like your toilets, it has never been used by anyone before you.
Plus, you can hijack Adam’s pool until yours is done. :thumbsup:

Here is a link that Miss Ann posted about a story on Prince in the news that you might want to see:

Stunning!

July 13th, 2007 at 3:56 pm
DUDE! That’s really awesome. It’s one of those super-rare events… and I’m glad your psyched.
Rock on, sister.
July 13th, 2007 at 4:53 pm
The house is absolutely beautiful, of course. I want pictures of the yard, too!
Oh, and how close do you live to Avi? Not too close, I hope.
(Uhm, oh, Hi Avi. You read the comments over here?)
July 13th, 2007 at 6:58 pm
You’re welcome.
P.S. Welcome to Florida!
July 13th, 2007 at 7:17 pm
That’s a fucking awesome house! :thumbsup:
July 13th, 2007 at 9:13 pm
Wow!! I am sooooo jealous right now Britt! I totally

July 14th, 2007 at 3:59 am

House is beautiful Brit! I’m sure y’all will enjoy it!
July 16th, 2007 at 11:23 am
What Angel said about toilets? We bought a brand new house in 2002 and the guest bath upstairs had a piece of shit floating in it when we moved in. Sanitize.
July 16th, 2007 at 6:41 pm
Or, rather, the guest bath TOILET did. Sigh.
