Purchasing a house is very exciting for a lot of reasons but one of the biggest is the anticipation of making the house a home. Some of the things you get to look forward to:
1) Decorating: Choosing your own style of decor, furniture, glassware, cutlery, baking and cooking items and so much more! Some of the best decorating is done over the holidays! Along with the decorations is also the smell of home cooked meals and baked goodies.
2) Traditions: Whether you are keeping old ones or creating new ones, you’re making new memories in your home.
3) Family: Whether it is your immediate family gathering at your home for special occasions or building a family with pets, kids and your partner, these moments all help bring love, laughter and warmth to your home.
4) Making it Your Own: There are always ways to add on or take away (more adding on than taking away usually). Whether it is adding in a pool, bocce court, play ground, chicken coop, new patio/deck, gardens…everything adds something special to your home.
Above all it is all about making new memories! These are just a few.
