Pictured above is my absolute ideal home: an old New England house full of turrets and balconies on plenty of land leading to the water. Unfortunately, this house does not exist- at least not as pictured above! The home used in the 1998 movie Practical Magic was just a shell built for production out on San Juan Island, Washington. Sigh.
Will and I are beginning to look at houses in the area. We are not quite ready to buy (gotta get through the wedding first!) but are starting to see what is out there: what we like, don't like, agree on, disagree on. We have a few ideas but it's all a bit overwhelming. Will jokes that the only way we'll be able to agree on a house is if we build one that looks old, since he likes newer conveniences and I like the character of old homes. Good thing we're starting early!
Do you own a home? If so, do you like it? Would you change anything about it? How about your neighborhood? Were schools an important factor? I'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions!
