We love living in a house. It's so nice to have our own space and room to breathe! But after living here for a month, we have discovered a few quirks about our old home:
1. Small scale- People used to be a lot smaller back in the day, which we have realized firsthand. Our 3 bedrooms are tiny and don't account for any extra room. Once we get our master bedroom completely set up, we figure there will be about a foot of space at the end of the bed for maneuvering around the room.
2. Funky floor plans- You have to sit a little sideways in order to use the toilet in the main bathroom. Whoever came up with the idea to install the toilet so close to the vanity clearly wasn't thinking. It's not the most functional bathroom.
3. Missing amenities- There are some modern amenities that just come standard. Our house was built before garbage disposals were considered necessary. I absolutely hate doing dishes in the first place and not having a garbage disposal makes it that much worse. Luckily, Josh usually volunteers for dish duty- I have the best husband!
4. Outdated finishes- Most of the finishes in our house really aren't bad, but some could definitely use an update. Our kitchen floor is far from attractive and you can tell that it's been there awhile. I'm sure it used to be in style, but I will be the first to point out that it's not anymore.
Cramped bathroom and oh-so-lovely kitchen floor.
Even though I've only mentioned the not-so-nice features of our home, we're really happy here. And there are some great features that we love: wood floors throughout, all of the original windows and moldings, a finished basement. It's not flawless, but with a little paint and elbow grease it will be perfect for us.
