The Beginning of Appreciation

I had always loved beautiful architecture, but it wasn't until moving to Seattle in my very late teens, that I became enamoured with it, obsessed with it actually. It seemed that every single neighborhood was filled to the brim with homes just dripping with character...my breath was continually taken away.

Some of these images I've had forever and are from the Windermere Real Estate website (which used to be fantastic, not so much anymore). Others were taken from another local real estate company called Seattle Dream Homes and some are from when I used to drive around the city, camera in hand, taking pictures like a mad woman, absorbing the unique characteristics of these glorious historic homes, planning for the day when we would either be able to purchase one...

or create our own.
