I still play this game with my husband! We don’t own yet – we rent – and I love going on long walks and pointing out “that one!” Sometimes we even stop and look at the ones that are for sale. Our other favorite game to play (particularly now, because we are TERRIBLY fond of the house we are renting and our neighbours) is, “what would we do first to fix this place up if we bought it?” =)

I grew up in the same type of way and still feel the same. I have a bad habit of over-appreciating lots of other apartments around the neighborhood except ours. It’s a difficult thing to brush off but I’ve been really trying lately to simply appreciate where I live. Now I picks things out about our place and say outloud (about our little balcony) “I love that we finally have an outdoor space!”

amen.

i find it so hard to live in the present because i am always thinking, dreaming, planning and stressing for the future.

sometimes it’s exhausting and i wonder when i will have that ahhhhh moment of being content and home.

there was a house on the walk to my high school best friend’s place that i swore i’d buy, if i ever won the lottery/became a rock star/realized other unrealistic dreams. it was perfect! older, large, ivy growing all over the place, built when people knew what elements went with what… the point being, i now realize how naive i was, thinking that the building itself would satisfy my hunger for the perfect ‘home’. it really is such a bizarre dream to think you can have perfection! no matter what you do, and what you have, your brain is always looking for the greener side of the pasture.

Such a great point, Erica, I feel the same! I think what I was trying to say, though didn’t totally come across, was that there isn’t “the one” and I always want something else.

I know that feeling well. Unfortunately, it’s not limited to houses, but furniture purchases or clothing. That one, will be the one to change everything. Sigh.

That is such a beautiful photograph.

Beautiful honest post.

When I was young I loved looking in the window of real estate agents and choosing which house I’d buy. Reading the commdnts it Sounds like the meaning of home/the aspiration of home is more widely experienced than I thought!

Stunning image. I love a big window to look out of and at the same time to allow lots of light in.
