I love everything & suddenly that’s a problem

I love all kinds of music —from gospel  to classical, rap to Spanish, and everything in between.

I love all types of clothing styles– from  Victorian era  to 60′s hippy,  to catwalk modern.

I love all types of cars—from 1900′s to 2010′s.

I love all types of hairstyles. ALL of them. seriously.

I love all types of Art.

I could go on and on and on, but you get the gist.

I’m one of those types of people that plays no favorites because I love everything equally. Pretty much. well, okay, for the most part.  

Suddenly though, this love of all things has hindered me in the pursuit of house- hunting.

Why?

Well, think about how many styles of homes there are…

Cape, Colonial, Colonial Revival, Greek revival,  Stick houses, Shotgun (or Row), Victorian & Queen Anne, neo classical,  Cottage,  Art Deco,  Mediterranean, Contemporary …etc, etc, etc.

Now,  think about how many homes are currently on the market and you can understand why I am having a problem.  

That’s right… I can’t decide on a set criteria &  it makes things very difficult.  Who knew?

 And what makes it even more difficult is that I love everything about city life and everything about  country life.

So put me in the woods, or next to Wal-Mart and I’ll be equally happy.

My favorites houses so far are the Foursquare, Colonial,  Arts and Crafts, Bungalow,  60′s style Ranch and Tudors.

 And my favorite areas are all of them.

I know for certain that I hate Raised Ranches, a few  Split levels,  mostly all Dutch Colonials and surprisingly the Neo Eclectic.  One would think I’d love the Neo Eclectic since they’re the epitome of  ”I can’t decide what type of style I like so I will incorporate them all in one house ”  kind of house—but no, I don’t like them.  

And no, my Realtor in Connecticut does not hate me…yet.  But probably soon.

And yes, I will let you know as soon as I find a house and as soon as I have a move date.

the end.
