House Stalking

love this house

Be honest, y'all.  How many of you have pictures like this on your phone?  Yesterday, both the kids fell asleep in the car (they're both Carcoleptics - #dadjoke) and I decided to drive around and look at houses.  Unfortunately, I didn't get very far because I also decided to drive through Starbucks (first time this week), and the wait took so long they didn't make me pay for my drink.  But I consider it win anyway.  This house is just so adorable and a great example of a new construction done tastefully.  This neighborhood in Kansas City has lots of smaller or rather "normal-sized" homes and while this house definitely stood out as newer, it wasn't overwhelming the rest of the neighborhood.  Growing up in Highland Park, I've seen a lot of monstrosities go up in place of sweet bungalows.  However, the past few times I've visited, I've seen a trend toward more subtle homes like this and I love it.  If I ever built a home it would look a lot like this: french style, white, light shutters, a slate roof, french doors, copper gutters, boxwoods.  I would love to see more of this house! I bet it's really pretty on the inside. 

Do y'all stalk houses?

I stalked my own house years ago and blogged about it here!
