Home Haven Seeker Prints

"After spending all day out there I'm so calmed by a limited color palette and some simple, clean lines."

'How's the water skiing?'

Couch and Potato

"Today on Escape to the Country Emily & Oliver are looking for that special little property in the Cotswolds. So what exactly's going to tick all their boxes?"

'I see a carefree lifestyle by a quiet lake. No, wait, my mistake - looks like I called up the real estate section.'

"My biggest concern is adequate closet space."

Turtle Home

'It is a huge property, originally built by a Condor: Perfect for a large family...'

'I seem to be on the range but 'home' is proving illusive.'

House hunting is cruel.

"I'm going to make you a stay-at-home mom."

"This looks intersting. Three bedrooms, two and a half scratching posts..."

Affordable housing - Mum and Dads.

"The school district is great and I love the layout - I'm just not sure the mud is gooey enough."

New Homes

'And, as you can see, it is the perfect place to start a big family...'

"Not too big a garden-my wife tires easily!"

Man with head in ground: 'I'm not burying my head in the sand, I'm doing the coal mining search myself.'

'At least this means we won't need a coal mining search.'

Real estate.

'Oh, it's perfect, George! And it has termites, too!'

'Want a new house? Time to start groveling again.'

"The meaning of life is location, location, location."

"That's better! - I can't bear the noise of the rain on my roof..."

'Well! Another near miss! Remind me not to listen to you next time you say it's okay to move in downstairs from a young family and that's not the reason the place was so cheap!'

"You're going to love the 360 degree views with this one."

Your dream home

'The good news is it's not mice.'

Just when all hope was lost, Kirby happened upon a vision shared by all homeless cuckoo birds - the abandoned clock.

"I envy you. I'd love to have a house with a fireplace."

'It was designed for people who don't want any visitors.'

"Why do we need a bigger house. Your folks can barely afford this one."

'That's the sort of home I've always wanted.'

You said you wanted an early American house AND it does have a few modern conveniences including central air and heating.
