I have to say, my Grandma would probably agree! My favorite kitchen was huge and I had a big claw-foot table in the middle of it where everyone always hung out.  I miss that kitchen ; )

I have people ask me this all the time how to prepare to buy a home… OR they tell me they’re sure they *can’t* buy a home!  I say: “What’s the single most important thing you could do to get ready to buy a house? Even if you think its “down the road”?
Talk to a *good* lender. They’ll take your info, and *not* charge you anything to run your numbers & give you a range of prices (based on what you qualify for *and* how much you prefer to spend on monthly payments), OR an actual plan on what exactly you need to do to work toward getting approved. Contact me. I know people ; ) People I feel good about. People I’ve vetted. People you can trust with your own individual adventure.”

I met this bird on a walk in the neighborhood last night~

Portland Artists are into birds. Portland is the City of Roses, the City of Bridges…but its also the City of Birds~
