My honey and I have been gently considering the possible idea of potentially moving lately. So of course at the mere almost-whisper of "new home" my eyes come aglow with the notion of Potential. Though there is nothing wrong with the place we're at right now - and we're actually pretty content, save for a yard for the pup - my brain can't help but to start mentally salivating at the idea of a maybe-almost new place.

Because, yes, I am totally one of those nosy-ass people who wants to know what your place looks like. I want to see what wall colors you've chosen, how you decorate your living spaces, how neat your closet is, what kind of beverages you've got in your frig. And though I've not got a single decorative bone in my body, I have enough of a big mouth to make a comment about something I do (or don't) like in someone else's space.

 

So I can't help but to love looking at new homes. And trying to imagine myself in some new spaces - can I "survive" in the big wide open with a log cabin, am I cool enough for ultra-modern loft living, can I keep up with the repairs needed for a genuine Victorian.

Of course there's also the Wish List. The few minutes of "throw reality and money out the window" while you jot down everything you would want in a new house. My recently upgraded mental list consists of: walk-in (and I mean it) master closet, room enough for two home offices and a guest bedroom, generous fenced-in yard for pup, stainless steel appliances, crown molding throughout, central heat and air, two car garage at least, wrap-around porch, French doors from the dining room, country enough for wide open spaces, but not too in-the-country, if you know what I mean.

What are some of your can't-live-withouts when it comes to finding a new place? What are some of your biggest considerations?
