Home.

I recently started working for a home builder up here in Idaho. Aside from occasionally enjoying looking at model homes, I had no prior experience in real estate. Needless to say I was thrown into the fire and have been trying to keep up with all that I'm learning. And I honestly am learning a TON. About unnecessary upgrades that people think they just HAVE to get. About inspectors and appraisers and all the other random people that call me asking for info about our homes. Even about electrical outlets and why some can handle more voltage than others.

I never thought I'd love this job as much as I do, but I'm continually surprised by the passion I find myself having for homes. I'm known for looking at loftily priced homes in the Treasure Valley, and here are a few dream images I've come across of late.




































Lovingly,

Excuses.

So, I had every intention of keeping up with this thing.. Unfortunately, my life got in the way. BUT, I had a revelation today in the kitchen about how to make this easier.

I got to thinking about one of my art classes from last semester. We talked at length about "appropriated images" and how the internet allows just about anyone to take and manipulate an image that they find, and successfully call it their own. I'm still torn about how I feel on the subject, but I know I commandeer a good amount of images and keep them in a file on my desktop.

This will be where I share them with you.











This is a cake. NOT a burger. I know, I was shocked too.
















Puppy!











And a beautiful piece of art from a friend of mine.


I'll be posting these three at a time. Hopefully my theft of internet images will be able to keep up with my posting.

Cheers, friends.
