When does a house become a home?

By Weeri · · 1 min read
Thoughts

So, a couple of days ago we got the keys to our new house. Currently, we use most of the furniture and kitchen utensils that the heir left in the house. The strange thing is that even though it's officially our house, it feels like we're renting an Airbnb.

Now, the question is: when will this house feel like it's our home? The house is dated and really needs a lot of TLC. As we'll be renovating room by room, we'll probably spend the next five years or so between building equipment.

Our first project is to quickly renovate and turn the kitchen and the living area to match our own taste, without spending too much money. Will this step make the house our home? Or is it something else? Maybe it's when we moved in our own furniture and got rid of all the old stuff? Or maybe it's when the house is totally finished?

I'm the luckiest man alive

I'm the luckiest man alive, and I'll tell you why. I was born in Thailand, and my mom came from a very poor family of ten. She grew up in Thailand's countryside and was so poor that during middle school lunch break, she had to hide behind a large tree so no one would see that she didn't havelunch.

It's hard not to tell them your plan

Never show a fool your work until it's completed. It's a more badass way of saying: "Never tell peopleyour plans; show them the results." It's easy advice, but I find it too difficult to follow.
