If something about your home no longer feels right, start here.
Not because you necessarily need to move.
And not because something is “wrong.”
But because home decisions are often more emotionally layered than people expect, and harder to untangle alone.
Why logical decisions can still feel off →
It took me a long time to learn that making choices because they “make sense” or are explainable to other people isn’t necessarily the right way to make all choices. Sometimes, what looks great on paper doesn’t translate to real life.
Why This Feels SO Hard
Why “dream homes” sometimes disappoint →
It’s wild to think that you can create a list to define your dream home, find one that checks every box, and yet it still doesn’t feel right. How does this happen?! One thing I’ve found is that when people create their “dream home” criteria by making a list of needs (#rooms, square footage, etc), they forget to include things that describe how they will be using the space. What it’s important for them to be close to. Why they need all of the things on the list. All of these things matter, too.
Why people outgrow spaces →
It’s not always because they need more space. Sometimes they need less. But also, sometimes the location no longer makes sense, or it’s not laid out in a way that best accommodates what they’re experiencing in this season of life.
Things worth paying attention to :
What’s actually bothering you?
What changed?
What are you trying to support in this season?
What do you keep dismissing?
What does “feeling settled” actually mean to you?
