[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm very interested in this conceptually. Do you think about your house as a home, a refuge, a place where you find safe harbor and part of that/wrapped up in that is having a certain kind of aesthetic experience (beauty to look at in a style you find pleasing, comfort, functionality, storage so clutter is gone and thus facilitates a certain kind of cleanliness or order)? Or do you not care, find your house to be a functional thing (roof overhead, moderately climate controlled, places to do basic functions, etc.), but it's really a commodity you will use and then transfer (for profit hopefully) to someone else when you move/downsize/die? That seems to be a basic divide. [/quote]
I don't think it is.  My home is my refuse and comfortable space, but that doesn't mean I need it a certain "aesthetic experience" that requires particular kinds of renovations or updating things every so many years.  Maybe the divide is between people who need an aesthetic experience consistent with ever-changing trends and those who don't.[/quote]

I mean, if your home is refuse, you probably should renovate.  Or at least take out the trash.  That's just common sense.  [/quote]
