So that’s all it takes to thoroughly clean your hairbrush!
Plan to not have anything change to be exactly what you want for at least 10 years.Buy the house that fits with that plan.
First on your list should be a kitchen and at least one bathroom that feel clean and comfortable to you.They should be updated enough that you can just move right in and use them, even if they’re ugly.You’ll also need a laundry room that you can use right away and somewhere cleanish and dry that you can store all of your stuff.
Look at the foundation of the house, the structure, and the roof.If these things are “move in ready” then the rest of the ugliness can be taken care of over time.
We had to walk away from a huuuuge beautiful house with 6 bedrooms, amazing fireplaces and original woodwork because the kitchens and bathrooms were really nasty and a new roof was needed right away.
We realistically would not have been able to get it up and running any time soon.Even if I try to pretend this little wall of hooks is just like my dream mudroom, it just doesn’t work.. And that’s just fine.
Having this little area to put all of our ugly, brightly colored, real-life things really does make our lives easier.For this point in our lives, if I’m looking for the perfect mudroom/drop zone/entryway all I need to remember is to keep it simple and keep it real.. And to not be ridiculous.I just love a good low-cost/no-cost DIY pillow solution to add a little cheer to my day.
There are so many great ideas out there to turn unexpected things into pillows and I admit I may be developing a bit of an addiction to these easy crafty tricks.Place mat pillows?
