Buying a House?

Then take some advice from Jo at Spin the Moon. She understands what makes a good house –

The first time we saw the house, it was horrible. The entryway and halls were sponge painted in purple, yellow and orange. The kitchen still had the avocado green, harvest gold, and burnt orange striped wallpaper leftover from the 70’s remodel, with the harvest gold stove to match.

Er… ok, so she bought a house that needs a little love. At least it has some nice extras:

It was not without its charms. It had enough bedrooms for everyone. It had a fireplace, albeit one that was so covered in years of soot the hearth was shiny black. It had a huge picture window looking out into the backyard. It had a greenhouse, offering me the opportunity to kill plants more professionally.

Er… well… perhaps you should study Jo’s homebuying tips anyway. Like I’ve always said, “If you can’t be a good example, then try to be a horrible warning.”
