We're moving this weekend. Current house is a packing bombsite which is stressing me out anyway.
Went to see the house again yesterday evening. It looked completely different in the dark. And it just felt like everything I've said I DON'T want in a house. It's modern, I like period. The walls were all blank and cream, I like colour. It has carpets, I like wood. Blah blah blah.
It's a great house, enormous space, and I know that it just needs our pictures and some paint and it will feel more like us. I know that rationally. But now all I can think about was the cold, windowless tiled hallway (it's a fucking hallway, who cares it had no light in the evening!) and the echoey sound of little furniture, and no warm old wood floors, and how this is supposed to be our house for the next twenty years or so and.... aargh!
Tell me it gets better once you're in?!
