Buying or selling a home is scary, happy, sad, exciting and the list goes on. The emotions we all go through can be from one end of the spectrum to the other. Homes tend to be our castles, our places to get away from the rest of the world, to just be us with no questions asked and nothing expected. For this reason buying or selling your home is a pretty big deal. Perhaps one of the biggest you may be involved with in your lifetime. Let’s take a look at a bit of home buying/selling psychology to see what all might be involved and how to get through it all.
1. Some times people get their mind set on that particular house, without giving much thought as to just how many hours they may have to work to keep it. Think about your priorities when you are planning to buy a new home, then figure out which is more important to you….the house being exactly as you have planned in your mind or the amount of quality time you will be able to spend there with your family.
2. If you want to purchase a large home, you may have to come up with a pretty big down payment. Think about whether or not you will have enough cash left over to decorate your place to fit your vision. Perhaps buying a smaller home with a smaller down payment might work better for you desire a larger decorating budget.
3. When selling your place, consider if you really want to give up all the wonderful things you have done while there. For instance if you have built a nice grill area in the backyard or a water feature or even put in a pool, spend some time thinking about if you really want to leave all of that behind.
4. Keep in mind that your children may have become quite fond of their home and may or may not be so easy to uproot from the place they have known all their life. Is it worth it to move out from under the roof that sheltered precious memories?
There are many different emotions that you may experience whether you plan to sell your home or buy another one. Now that you have become more aware of a few of them you may be better able to cope with what may come your way.
We have all heard of the man cave and many of us have them in our homes. Did you know that there is something called the she shed that is starting to take over the popularity of the man cave? That’s right! Women now have their own special place they can go to get some alone time and it is called the she shed! Below is a little bit of information about this new phenomenon.
1. She sheds came about as a shed that was used for gardening but in the last decade they have quickly become nice outbuildings decorated in tasteful feminine décor that are used by women to get away from it all! How exciting is that?!
2. She sheds can be used for whatever you want to use them for. For example if you like to read, create a she shed filled with books and comfy furniture. If you like sewing and crafts make a she shed centered around that. The world is your oyster when it comes to what kind of she shed you can create.
3. She sheds can be created on a budget scaled to fit your vision. They do not have to break the bank and they have endless potential. Again, you can make what you want out of your she shed.
4. If you want to build your own she shed there are plenty of DIY helps online to help you get the job done . There are even she shed starter kits at local, well known hardware stores.
5. She sheds can even be used as beauty salons if you have a license and you want to have a shop at your home. All you would need to do to make this a reality is to add the necessary plumbing to a she shed. You can make them quite beautiful if you have the time and money that is required to do so.
6. As far as the “look” of a she shed, you can do it up or make it blend in. Decorative lighting, artsy paint schemes, big windows, there are no limits. Plan your she shed to be whatever suits your fancy.
Now that you know there is such a thing as a she shed, it’s likely you will want to go online to find out more. All you need to do is Google she shed and you will be well on your way to finding out about all there is to know in the world of the she shed!
