Condo Board Would Say "No"

Last fall I took pictures of two gorgeous homes in Cambridge, MA that I wanted to share.  Colour schemes came up at last night's condo meeting, so I have exteriors on the brain.  Because we live in a row of homes with a condo board, we have little variety (which I don't really mind, because my neighbours cannot be trusted to pick their own colour schemes anyway-not after the vehement support in favor of lawn lions).  But because of the uniformity, I especially love unique homes.  Greener pastures. 

Are you a fan of ornately decorated, older homes?

Living in a Condo . . .

. . . is surprisingly similar to living in a sitcom.  We attended our very first condo meeting last night!  Unfortunately, we didn't get the memo that pitchforks were required and were thus ill-prepared.  I had a feeling it would be a lot like the town hall meetings in the Gilmore Girls (see below), and it didn't disappoint.  I'll be adding a new tab, soon, about the prop & cons of condo living.  Many people think only highrise buildings are condos, but our townhouse is one too.  So, if you're thinking about buying a condo, check back soon for our experience thusfar.

P.S. Speaking of the Gilmore Girls: how pretty is the clip below?  If I could actually paint (and not just smoosh paint around, like I do) I'd want to paint this image but blur it up a little.
