That'll get you a romp in the hay.

I'll be right over!!!

Spending ?
 

"spreading it around with charity"

I consider spreading the $'s around to carpenters, laborers, plumbers, technicians is more of a win-in.

Red walls.

we replaced all the stainless steel kitchen appliances shortly after moving in with white appliances of a higher quality

the width of our home is extended 4 feet and 7 feet on the depth

the chandelier in the dining room came from Murano, Italy

A Generac whole house generator, a Viking dual fuel range and a Toto bidet. All are “priceless”!😉

Tall ceiling

Opened up the wall between kitchen and dining in my Coronado model. Removed tub in guest bath, and replaced 30” box shower with open Roman shower in master bath. Much more modern.

Fun thread!

I'm trying to imagine what the dishwasher looks like. Do you have a picture? Sounds like a great idea.

Unusual Home Feature
 

My home has an illuminated lighthouse on the exterior and a turntable and mixer setup on the interior replete with supporting 8 track, cassette, cd player and VHS player. This is to play a very large vinyl, cassette, CD and VHS media collection also located on the interior.

None! I’m going to try for a note from the kids saying they love us. Of all the nice things, that’s the best so far!

Pupkiss on the windows inside...

An anole that we've named "Ralph" that visits our lanai from time to time. :)

My goldfish and Koi courtyard pond

wic
 

Last house was a sycamore I moved the living corner to the wic & made it 15 feet long

Would love a picture of your fireplace!

Here you go.

Nothing unusual, it’s just perfect for my wife and I. We love our home in The Villages!

Some ideas
 

Pull out shelving in the bottom kitchen cabinets and in the pantry so we can easily get to items in the back.
Custom master bedroom closet rather than the wire racks that seem to come standard.
Skylights are common in living area but we added one in the master bedroom and in the guest bathroom - both of which lacked light from outside and both of these tubes have solar powered "night lights".
We added soffett lights around the perimeter and put on dusk to dawn sensor AND also added a dimmer switch in the garage.
We added a chandelier over the dining area table on a dimmer switch. Makes for much nicer lighting than the standard ceiling lights plus can only light up the dining area.

I have never posted a picture before. I tried copy/paste and it did not work.
When (if) I figure it out I will post it.

If only we could see pictures from everyone. So many wonderful rooms and items

Here is a picture of our broom.
Wife uses it sometimes to go shopping on!

Salem anyone ?
 

i believe draco reported it " missing"

Wife found it when out toad hunting with Druella.

How about 70 feet lap pool ( longest in the villages )? It's for sale for Olympic swimmers.

Bidets are the BEST
 

Want to improve your life for under $500 add a bidet toilet seat. We have one in each bathroom. I learned while traveling in Japan that this is the best way to comfort and cleanliness. Look up Brondell washlet 300. You'll need a gfci outlet installed near the toilet for power.

I’ve considered getting a whole house Generac generator.

2 sided gas fireplace (one side is in the extended living room and the other side is in the additional sitting area of the master bedroom)

2 lovable and adorable Papillons. They make my house worth more than money can buy.

If you’re serious about getting a whole house generator, if you sign the contract today, you might have to wait until 2022 to have the whole house electric generator installed. We ordered our whole house generator in January, a month after moving to Florida, and we’re still waiting. Maybe another month or two before we have the generator installed. The total cost is about $13K. If we didn’t have natural gas service, it would be a few thousand dollars more for the buried propane tank.

I think fireplaces in Florida are a total waste of money! We were surprised how many fireplaces we saw in Florida homes when we were house hunting. We had natural gas fireplaces in Minnesota in two different homes. We used the fireplace maybe 10 times after first moving in the house, then never again. To us, fireplaces are highly overrated. I guess we are just not fireplace people.

We aren’t beach people eithet. Once a month or every other month is enough. After a few hours, we’re tired of the beach. Some people are beach people and hang out at the beach at least 8 hours a day, almost every day.

Our Annamaria courtyard villa has the largest window configuration in our master bedroom that I’ve seen in TV homes—8 feet wide. Our first home here—a Designer—had one standard window in the master bedroom, maybe about 3 feet wide. What a difference!

And hubby and I thought we had a lot of wine at 300 bottles! 1000, impressive! Can I ask, where did you put your wine cooler?

I disagree. We had a wood burning fireplace in our living room in our Tampa house ( easily convertible to gas) and we used it a lot. We only used Duraflame logs. It w@s beautiful when the Christmas tree was up.

Miss our fireplace.

I totally agree about fireplace, have used ours twice in 15 years.

Windows with great Chesapeake Bay views!

Skeletons in my closet !
