start dreaming
When my husband, two children and I outgrew our first purchase, a mobile home on the beach in Oxnard, we gathered at the kitchen table and drafted a “NEW HOUSE WISH LIST.” Three days later, Eureka! We found and purchased a home that included every feature we dreamt up – with the exception of the waterfall pool and the 1980s robot.
80’s robots are hard to come by and the perfect home may be rarer still, but identifying the features that hold the greatest importance to you will help you trust your “Eureka!”
As you consider the following prompts, it can also be freeing to think of your new home as a space to hold the latest chapter of your life, not necessarily the whole story. Have fun visualizing your new homeplace!
