    Have you ever walked into a home or business and said to yourself "E-GADS!"  or "Ho-Hummm."  While hot pink walls will throw my senses for a loop and probably make me want to leave sooner than later, classic white with beige furniture makes me feel sad for the occupants.   Sad because how on ...

I doubt I'll move here anytime soon, but I do fantasize about what my life would be like if I lived in this little Hobbit House in Wales...
