#47: how DO YOU know IF IT’S YOUR “FOREVER HOUSE”?

0 Comments

What happens when you aren’t sure if your current house is your long-term house? and if it’s not, how do you know when to stop improving it? We’re tackling those two big questions, including how the answers affected our own renovating decisions. Also, pretty soon after we shared our mostly-finished master bedroom on our blog, someone tossed a wrench into the room. A big stunning wrench that snowballed into a bunch of other changes – all of which were absolutely free. Plus, we talk about what’s making our weekday mornings less stressful, and the unusual thing that could lower your home’s home value.

Above is a look at the new rug in our master bedroom. We’re planning to take a few more photos and write up a blog post that outlines everything that came in and went out – hopefully by tomorrow!

Back in Episode #45 we first pointed out storing items by function, including the Sharpie in our lunch-prep drawer.

I also pointed out that I’ve strayed from bulk preparing smoothies (originally described way back in Episode #3). We’re still having our green smoothies every morning, I just don’t portion everything out beforehand into little baggies.

Here are the reusable Sistema containers that we use for our daughter’s lunches – either this side-by-side size or this stacked size, and these cups.

Listener Question

If you wanna hear our old (like 2009 old!) action to the “Is this your forever home?” question, just skip ahead to 5:45 in the Blogiversary Q&A video above.

And if you’re not familiar with our first house or our second house, I linked those to their respective house excursion pages.

We’re Digging

Above you can see two of the “pretty” backup toilet paper holders that we have in our half bath, including the basket on the floor and the glass vessel on the tank.

And while that basket is no longer for sale, here are some other options for any individual who’s seeking to keep guests from panicking and have extra rolls at arm’s reach: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7

Here’s Grand designs on Netflix for any fellow Americans who want to see what we’ve been missing out on in Britain all these years!

There are also several episodes on YouTube if you want to take a look that way. You can also get a sense of it from this funny Buzzfeed UK rundown.

Psst- trying to find something we’ve dug in a past episode, but don’t remember which show notes to click into? Well, here’s a master list of everything we’ve been digging from all of our past episodes.
