If I only had a dollar...


And felt like moving to Indiana.  I would buy this place in an instant and bring it back to its glory.  Are you kidding me - the clap board siding, the porticos, the long skinny windows, the perfect pitch of the roof...I could go on.  The proportions of this farmhouse are simply perfection.

If you are in the Jeffersonville area, you simply must go Here and never second guess your dollar investment. 

Then, get to work (it needs alot of it - what dream house doesnt??).  As with any house, I believe you should start with the kitchen.  Here are the ingredients:


Obdviously, the Shaw Farmhouse Sink would sit under a large bank of windows.

Topped off by the classic Kohler Antique wall mount faucet.  It just needs a rustic, homemade bar of beesewax soap.

Groves Brickworks Tile from Waterworks in Butler Grey.  Because its amazingly textural and different than the expected white, machine made subway tile.



A creamy "mushroom" laquered finish on the shaker panel cabinetry.  And please 86 the upper cabinets.  A few open shelves if you must.  And run the tile to the ceiling.



Cool, natural concrete countertops on the perimeter cabinetry.



No island necessary.  Just this Farmhouse Table from Restoration Hardware.


With these barstools (Overstock) underneath.


And finally, three of these beauties over the table.

Dont even get me started on what I would do with the bathroom.
