[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here and I love this thread! Thank you.

So many varying perspectives. For me, it’s not old house vs new house. It’s not about a shell.

Some of you really get me, and I appreciate that. I also appreciate the discussions.

I would appreciate more concrete ideas of what to look for and how to house hunt. Thank you.[/quote]

When looking at houses, look at ALOT of them. Like, tons. Don’t go by pictures - visit and really envision your life in the house. You’ll have different furniture and art, and can paint whatever colors you want. But try to see your life in the house. Do you like entertaining? Do you want a dining room big enough for dinner parties? What do you do in the kitchen? How close together do you want certain rooms?

Then when you move in, play with multiple layouts for furniture in each room. You’ll set it up initially, let it sit for a few weeks. Then in the room you don’t like the most, change it up (for me, I painted the room I hated most first and now I love that room!). Do the same with other rooms. Reorganize as many times as you need to until it works for you. [/quote]
