We have been renovating our home for quite some time. I don't even want to tell you how long.  Sometimes I think we will just get it done and sell it but lately I have had a new thinking.

I love my home and where it is located. I love busy street, the four bedrooms, the family room off the kitchen.  The new floors that will be going in and the new drapes I will be hanging up.  The new furniture, lamps and kitchen I am going to purchase.  This is going to be a showplace but in the meantime I am loving it just the way it is.  I am glad that I have had this long experience with doing our home.  I can appreciate it more and I can help my clients too if they have similar experiences. 

In my estimation, there are 2 great streets in Needham that I would love to live on and they are:  Woodlawn Street or Fair Oaks Park.  Fair Oaks Park is my absolute favorite one. These two streets are so great.  Who wouldn't want to live on either one.   If I lived on either street I would not have my best friend of 37 years right behind me.  I would not have a great little farm I can take my grandkids to so they can see the animals, that is, Owen's Poultry Farm.  I wouldn't be able to walk to the village of Needham Heights.   The more I think about it I am thrilled to be right where I am and very grateful too.  But I do love Fair Oaks Park and I think I could be persuaded to move there.  Just take a look at it on google earth or live search maps.

Someday our home will be just the way we want it to be but in the meantime I am going to enjoy it just the way it is with all it's shortcomings.   A work in progress which makes life more interesting and exciting everytime we do something else to our home.
