Today, like just a few minutes ago, Orblogdo, who cracks me up every single time he posts, wrote about a fantastic house in Sonoma county listed for 300k (give or take) that needs a lot of TLC.
Made my spider sense tingle.
Has a kickstarter ever been used for something like this? I can imagine the whole blogging community coming together to save this dilapidated slice of California-y goodness, then holding fabulous blogger pow-wows and singing kum-by-yah and crafting and things. And the people who chip in on kickstarter get priority to reserve it once it’s done. Then everyone else can get in on it. Can you see it? Kind of like the ultimate blogger vacation rental. Obviously, the renno job on the inside would increase the price. But for a blogger/hippie mecca it’s a small price to pay, right?
I want it to have a sealed glossy concrete floor and put navajo rugs and sheepskins all up in there. And pull-out couches that you’d never dream were pull-out couches. And get rid of the bidet. Say it with me: “EW.” And the kitchen needs help, obviously. Maybe some people will lend time and energy in order for the fabulous publicity and recognition they’ll get for helping out? Maybe?
I am such a dreamer. I need money to make things happen.
Le Sigh.
Anyone willing to loan me half a mil?
Back to reality, though. Maybe I could find something like this in Fallbrook, CA? Oh wait. I just did.
