in a few short weeks, simon and i will begin our house search. this is super exciting, albeit a little daunting.
in order to keep our wits about us, (mostly me) i've set out the following criteria* for staying focused on the important stuff:
1. is there a working fireplace?
2. can i picture drinking coffee in the kitchen every morning and solving crosswords in the living room at night?
3. is there a backyard that a dog would want to run through?
4. is there a special little nook, or random detail about the house, that is weird and therefore, awesome? :)
5. is there a space for crafting and mess making?
6. is there a guest room or space where my beloved friends and family can stay, and where i can leave them little notes and fresh garden flowers?
7. and last but not least, does the house feel right?
what else am i forgetting? i'd love to hear your ideas and experiences in house hunting.
* we've also got location, cost, age of the house, etc. etc. on the list... but those things are well... boring.
