“I don’t see houses as objects. If you go by a big-columned classical house, and the primary emotion it evokes in you is ownership—wouldn’t it be great to own that—that’s one thing. But if you go past a house, and your primary instinct is how wonderful it must be to be behind that window, then I promise you that was a house conceived with the intimacy of its interior as its primary driving force.”
-- Bobby McAlpine quoted by Logan Ward in The Poet of Place for G & G.

I just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed "house-hunting" through your blog. I love you that you, too, can see beauty in the "diamond in the rough".
