We have owned two prior homes and are ready to start over again. We have been living with relatives for a few months so that we could set aside money for a down payment. We love being with our family, but our family of three little girls need more space to run, play and grow. So we have started looking. We found several homes that we really love. Most of them are out of our price range. The few we have found, we don't have quite enough of a down payment saved yet. We have endlessly searched on the internet for the perfect house. My husband says I have a VERY STRICT list of "wants" in order to make the house perfect, but I insist they are actually "needs":
- Large Kitchen and Dining- Plenty of room for the three little girls to help me bake. Also I love to entertain and invite people over which means a dining area too.
- Big Windows- Because after working several years in window coverings, I have elaborate window decor going on in my head.
- Large Bathrooms- After all I will have three teenage girls at the same time. So there will need to be room for a large mirror and a double sink. Plus, I need room for the perfect jetted tub.
- An Extra Bedroom- I am tired turning the couch into a bed for my husband and I when guests come to visit and take over our bedroom. This extra space won't be wasted when we don't have visitors. I plan to put it to good use with a hobby I have been aspiring to... crafting! Although if you ask my husband it is a computer room or a home gym. Who says my sewing machine can't be on a table hiding his barbells?
- A Family Room and a Living Room- So that I can have a toy-free zone.
- A Master Suite- Who doesn't want the perfect retreat at the end of the day?
- Close to Town- I hate the drive to town. I just want to be there quick and get my errands done. I like being able to head to the store on a whim - or when I forgot to get something we need for dinner.
