The space was a little over 2,000 sq. ft., so it wasn’t tiny, but just the right size for us. I’m a city girl, the hubster likes a yard and outdoor space. We have been trading back and forth…LOLBenitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712521705008463049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-12404380180183710832015-07-20T17:11:27.820-05:002015-07-20T17:11:27.820-05:00Rita, we loved that loft and it was unique.

I can't imagine anyone (other than a man) designing a home today with 25' ceilings. That's just crazy on so many levels. I hope you soon get lucky and find "the one".

Even though I'm not from Texas, I feel like it will always be a part of me. We will eventually move back. There was so much history in this building. The wood floors were the original pine planks. We wanted to find one here in Nashville, but the smaller size compared to cost just wouldn't work for us.<br /><br />Thank you so much for following along with me. We have definitely been on a journey! I love looking in houses also...maybe that's why the house hunt has taken so long! ;-)Benitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712521705008463049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-15800655303547991682015-07-20T09:23:57.541-05:002015-07-20T09:23:57.541-05:00I am hooked!

And once you're from Dallas you're always from Dallas. <br /><br />I can understand your excitement about living in this beautiful loft space. It had character and charm and must have been a dream to live in, having such an uncluttered look. I know our two younger sons have the goal of living in a loft someday. <br /><br />Thank you for this house tour and any future ones because we all love to peek into houses!<br /><br />DewenaDewenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330797553600987145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-1500068159409799112015-07-20T08:12:59.211-05:002015-07-20T08:12:59.211-05:00Thank you so much Kris!
