I don’t know about you, but I had so much fun:
- a) talking about finding your dream home
- b) watching House Hunters International {live! on the tee vee!} and live tweeting while a very, very young and uh, very “American” couple chose an apartment in Vienna. {side note: Heather Spohr and I were texting back and forth during the show: “Seriously? $1,800 buys THAT in Austria?! Why are we still living in the U.S.?“ double side note: Rebecca Woolf is always entertaining but late at night, and I imagine sleep deprived, she is double hilarious}
- c} dreaming about the possibility of living in abroad somewhere. It’s #1 on my life list to live in Europe for at least a year, and watching House Hunters international made that feel a little less scary for me.
I need to just put on my big girl panties and move to Europe already.
Anyway, you’ve all been great playing along with all my wanderlust and whatnot. But let’s get to the real reason you’re here, to see who won the iPad 2. I haz a jellus.

I recently read an article about this house in New Zealand that’s blowing my mind.
It was built and completely decorated + furnished right after World War II for a navy man’s mother and sister, never to be lived in.
Ever.
All the original furnishings are still intact: dishes, record player + records, light fixtures, original parquet floors.
I’m honestly melting a little inside just thinking about it. Can you even imagine? This little treasure of mid-century modern is just sitting empty {halfway across the world}, waiting for me to come live there.
Oh come on, a girl can dream.
