You can’t convince me otherwise… a pretty house is not automatically a good house.
I don’t care how gorgeous the kitchen is.
If your growing family is still tripping over backpacks, shoes, laundry baskets and each other every morning…
Congratulations. You bought yourself a pretty problem. 😂
And listen, I LOVE a pretty house.
Give me the beautiful kitchen.
Give me the big island.
Give me the gorgeous countertops.
But before we start mentally moving in, I want my Lafayette and West Lafayette buyers to ask:
“Does this house actually work for the way we live?”
Because where are the backpacks going?
Where does everyone dump their stuffs when they walk through the door?
Where are the sports bags?
Where does the mountain of Amazon packaging mysteriously reproduce?
And when you’ve got three kids, two dogs, a husband, and approximately 47,000 things happening before 8 a.m…
Is everyone going to survive the morning? 😂
And let’s talk about the future, too.
Where are the teenagers going to disappear to?
Where are you hosting Thanksgiving?
Are you going to be stepping over somebody’s laundry just to get to your bedroom?
Because you’re not just buying countertops and square footage.
You’re buying the way your family is going to LIVE.
So yes, I want you to fall in love with the house.
But I REALLY want you to love living in it.
Pretty is great. Functional is better.
And that’s the stuff I want us looking at BEFORE you fall head-over-heels for the backsplash
