When we bought our house our bedroom had blue carpet, our toilet was brown and our shower was Tiffany blue. Our couch was about 15 sizes too small for the living room, and we went about three years without hardly any furniture.
We bought the ugly house. We knew it was ugly. We also knew it didn't have to stay that way. 🤣
But then we fully remodeled it, and after living in it for however many years, it felt like we had just moved into a brand new house all over again.
And somehow, after all that remodeling, we STILL haven't put a single hole in the wall because now just hanging a picture feels like too big of a commitment!
All of this to say, making a house feel like YOUR house doesn't happen overnight.
I think that's something worth remembering when you're house hunting. You're walking into someone else's home. Their paint colors, their furniture, their questionable bathroom decisions...
You don't have to love all of that. You have to love what the house could be for YOU.
And once you get the keys? You get to make the rules. Paint the walls, buy the weird decorations, find your favorite spot on the couch, and make your own memories.
It doesn't have to be perfect on closing day to become your favorite place in the entire world.
Now tell me, what's ONE thing that makes a house feel like home to you?
