What I Love & Hate about My New Home

Being that I have truly lived in this house for a whole 5 days now, I'm starting to figure out all my different loves and hates about my house. That start with the hates-

I hate this stairs. They are so loud when you walk up or down them. It will be a good thing if someone is ever trying to sneak in or out of the house (example- our very way in the future kids) because they make so much noise. However, when your husband doesn't go to bed till 3:00am- it's a problem when I'm trying to sleep.

Moving in was a bit of a challenge because of how narrow our hallway is by the stairs both going to our upper and lower parts of the house. I can also see this spot being where people bump into each other as they round the corner to go up or down stairs. With only the two of us it hasn't been a issue, but bring in our big Italian family for a party- someone could get hurt.

My final hate is also a love. It's kind of a love/ hate thing-

I love that we have a two car attached garage that is big enough to have two cars in it with space to spare. However, I hate that there is too much stuff in the garage to put a car even in it. I did get my car in here the other night when it was raining, but I almost couldn't get out the car. I know that once we have finished "moving in" we'll be fine, but right now it's on my hate list.

To my loves-

If you know me well, you know I'm a bath person. Always have been and always will be. Since we started living at Sam's parents house, the only time I got to take a bath is when I spent the night at my mom's house. Also, I love that this tub is big enough that I can have my legs out straight and still have extra room to move (and I don't have short legs).

I love that we have a dish washer. Even though it's old and noises, it still works and that's all that matters.

Finally, I love our neighborhood! For privacy reasons, I'm not going to show picture of our street or the front of our house. But I love that we are in walking distance of a lot of cute shops and one of my favorite farmers markets.

You may remember this picture from my mother's day weekend recap and I can't believe after waiting so long to get this house, that we finally can really enjoy all the things my new neighborhood offers.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!
