New House, Old Problem

So maybe you have found your dream house. The layout is everything you want it to be, and you know your furniture will all fit in it the way you want. But just one thing is still just detracting from your experience of calling it "home." Many buyers look for that house that fits exactly what they want, and many buyers consider any home a work-in-progress. As life progresses both tastes and needs change, and some parts of a house may no longer serve their purpose. In short, remodeling is a reality both for the new homeowner and the seasoned veteran. Fortunately for both, resources abound throughout the internet to provide interesting ideas for even the most specific of needs. This blog will be highlighting some of those in the coming days, starting with the most obvious.

If you are considering remodeling, or just looking to buy a new house, the following questions may be helpful to keep in mind as you mine for ideas.

1. What is the most important, or most used feature of my house for my family?

2. How is my house's current layout contributing to its use? What detracts from it?

3. Could other areas in the house be better utilized to help serve that purpose? Is there anything about them that, if changed, could help us to function a little better?
