House porn.

I've been looking at houses on Redfin. I'm LOVING some of the ones I've been finding! I was trying to get DH to look with me, but he doesn't want to look until we know we can actually buy a house. Party popper! I just want him to window shop with me!

  • I thought about starting a thread a while ago that was like, 'What's your type of porn?'  Because honestly, I'll tell H I've been looking at porn and he'll get all excited, and then I'm always like, 'Yeah, on redfin.com or on crateandbarrel.com.'  I honestly can't wait to buy a house so that I can buy real furniture I like.  I refuse to buy furniture or anything nice for the apartment / condo we have because we won't be here too long (another year or two) and I don't want to buy furniture for one space when I know we'll go to another one soon.  So instead I troll Pinterest and Redfin all the time.
  • oooh! where you looking? i hear lynnwood is great :)

  • I looove house porn. I look at redfin every day even though we already bought. Technically, we're looking for a home for my parents cause they've been wanting to move to the area for the last 2 years or so.

    Where are you looking? What are your specs? Min bedrooms? Min bathrooms?

    I don't think southern colonial really exists up here, partly cause southern colonial is generally brick-based (or clapboard sometimes) and there aren't a whole lot of brick homes here. The most southern-esque homes I've seen tend to be in the 1+ million dollar range and I've seen a lot of them in the Highlands on redfin (the clapboard style with columns). :(

    The predominant architecture structure up here for homes seems to be craftsman, the very occasional French tudor, pseudo/new-age craftsman, and contemporary/modern.

    Are you from the south? I can't quite remember.

  • I love Redfin for house porn!! I check there ALL the time. It drives H up the wall, because most of the time I'm drooling over dream houses over practical houses.

  • I use to love looking at houses online. Buying two and selling one, back to back within 18 months made me hate house hunting. :( 

    I hope you can get DH on board to look with you though! It's more fun that way.

    Holy crap. Why did you buy two in such a short period?

    Ugh. We had just bought a condo when DH was promoted and told he was moving to Seattle. I never even got to cook in the custom kitchen my dad built. We sold the condo, moved to Seattle and bought our current house in Ballard.

    I've actually never been! I hear rave reviews. We were just talking about how we need to make an effort to go to more places on 24th. Usually we get sucked into eating down on Ballard Ave.

  • I love house porn. Sometimes it makes me sad because we would need a ton more money to afford the house we really want, but it is always fun to see all the different houses.

    I love their ham and cheese croissants. So good and most of their pastries are good (if super buttery but it's French, c'est la vie~). Tall Grass is usually at the Farmer's market, but they have good bread and are right next door. ^^

  • I love house porn. And food porn. I don't house hunt though, I get my porn from HGTV. And Food Network for food porn. I would die without it.
