[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel similarly. I’ve always loved older homes with a lot of brick and ended up buying a very modern townhouse with high ceilings and big windows. I don’t know how to make it feel homey. [/quote]

I went along with what my DH wanted. I hate our house. Too big, too modern, not at all cozy. Been here a long time and I think it’s our forever home, which is depressing. [/quote]

OP here and so did it. It’s old, dark, and not functional. It’s not my style at all either.[/quote]

NP.  Ah, some insight here.  So it’s not really a house you chose in the first place.  I duked it out with my dh when we were house hunting.  It was really hard.  After the first serious weekend of looking (we had come in from out of state), he had a favorite that I hated and I had a favorite that he hated.  It was bad and we had a super-tense drive home afterwards.  I give 100% credit to our realtor for getting us through it.  He was better than any marriage counselor.  He managed to explain to me what my husband’s thought process was in a way that my husband could not.  And he kept in mind what dh wanted and what I wanted.   Took us two more months of hard-core looking before we found the right place that worked for both dh and I.  I’m grateful that we found it and it worked out.  I would not have been happy in a house that only met dh’s needs, not mine. [/quote]
