I was surprised to learn that one of my all-time favorite houses – we’re talking going back to college years here folks - in Vancouver British Columbia is for sale!

They’re long, they’re lean and they are meant to be mean. Mean to the neighbors who made someone mad enough to build a tiny house right beside them, cramping the views and ventilation and diminishing adjoining property values.

I got downright giddy when I found Starry Night Cottage in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Owner Kaye Driscoll Gallahar gave me permission to show you around this adorable 1880′s home which is now used as a vacation rental… Kaye and her husband searched for over two years before finding this little gem just a short stroll away from the [...]...
