Long, long ago, about 30 years or so, a potential buyer took one look at this empty home and felt an undeniable urge.
To use the bathroom.
Nature was calling, and since she happened to be a realtor she was able to let herself inside.
Once she had taken care of … er … business, she gave this little home a closer look and saw high ceilings and tons of potential. So she purchased the home, and 30 years of love later, here’s what it looks like today …
Gasp! Is this not the cutest little fairy-tale cottage you’ve ever seen? I want to punch it in the face with my love.
What do you think made the biggest difference here? The landscaping and iron fence? The painted brick? The colonial-style windows and doors? All of it all at once?
Yes, yes, yes, and much yes.

When I was 15, my friend’s mom was pregnant and they were trying to decide on a name for the baby. They decided on naming her Nature. That is until I told her to think of future messages that her daughter would leave- “While you were out, Nature called” . Yep, they gave that name up in a hurry!
I’m dying to see the inside too! 🙂 So cute!
The greenery, for sure! The fence and steps are lovely, but even the old version of the house would have looked much nicer with that lush yard.
WOW!!!!! That is amazing!
Haha! You helped that baby dodge a bullet!
“I want to punch it in the face with my love.” – That is the funniest thing I’ve read this week! 😂 I love your writing style Lindsey.
I’m glad you’re back!!
I just plain love the dark green paint on those previously drab bricks! Well, and the cream or white trim AND the blue door and it looks like the roof is also blue. Lovely color scheme; it just nestles into the gorgeous landscape. It all just totally goes together.
I think the trim on the windows and doors is what really makes it stand out. ❤️ They could have left the brick and it would have looked like it was truly a colonial home. So well done, all around, though!
I love it!
What? Nah…wait, same tree, same something…Nope, not same…wait a minute….Well, heck and harrah! It IS the same house! Who knew a lick of paint, a new fence, brick paving, new roof, and god only what else this realtor did to the the place could make it so dang NICE! Now can she just pop on over to me in Australia and use MY toilet???
I want to live there.
This is AMAZING! I’ve been having fun browsing through Laura Bern’s website, too. Thanks, Lindsey!
I adore your personality
