When we purchased this house a few years back, we got an AMAZING deal because it was a "Buyer's Market". There are things about this house that we LOVE, and some that we don't. Our hope is that we can take the things we love and apply it to our new house, while fixing the things we could live without or dislike.
We also felt like we sacrificed having land because we got such a great deal. I grew up in the mountains of Colorado. We didn't have a lot of land there, right about 2 acres actually, but looking back, it was wonderful. We've come to realize in the last few years that we'd prefer to NOT live in a subdivision...or if we do, we'd need a much larger lot size so that we aren't looking in the neighbor's back yard.
Now on to our list of Loves/Dislikes:
LOVES:
- Vaulted ceilings - we've got 10ft ceilings on the first floor!
- Kitchen size - we've got a wonderful kitchen with a great island in the middle and an eat-in area as well
- Granite counters
- Crown molding - throughout...love it!
- Floor plan style - squared/symmetrical rooms
- Formal dining
- Master Bedroom size
DISLIKES:
- Location, Location, Location
- Lot size
- Thomas wants a larger garage
- Style of the exterior
- Small front porch and back deck
That's it for now - next post will be design inspiration!!
