Real Homes Attract Real People
Making a home a real home should be the goal of just about any person who owns a residence. Sure, people can live in a home but not really 'live' there, which is actually something that most people understand quite easily. Those who looked at a home as something that could be traded up in a few years never seem to get this fact, though.
As an example, consider the kind of real home occupied by real people and what the interior of that home may look like. Chances are fairly good that all of the kids' bedrooms are decorated in one theme or another. These home decor accents can be as diverse as sci-fi character action on wallpaper or as staid as subdued pastels. The point is the home became something more than just a way station on the road to a bigger home.
No, what they did was look at the home as an opportunity to raise a family and to create a sanctuary that would keep them safe from the outside world even in the worst of times. For sure, no woman worth her salt would ever consider getting rid of her handy Dyson upright vacuum cleaner which she received as a housewarming gift from her parents all those years ago, would she?
Truthfully, most folks who don't have this kind of attachment to a home or the desire to make it real in their own eyes would have no problem getting rid of such an object, but many who do take the time and the trouble to create a real home out of a dwelling report real feelings of loss even when the beat up old dry wet vacuum that used to suck up basement water finally died on them, to cite just one pertinent example.
There's nothing wrong with this, in fact. Becoming attached to a home and all of the things that were done to make it a real dwelling that people want to live in and enjoy is basic human nature for most people. It's their way of establishing a zone where they not only are secure but also where they feel confident and are better able to deal with the world around them.
For sure, just about anyone who looks at his or her home in this manner tends to always be looking for ways to improve it, even when those improvements don't actually have anything to do with wallpaper or tile and the like. It's not that the house becomes a smorgasbord of competing decor, it's just that the house becomes something more to them than something that is made of wallpaper and tile and the like.
A real home is more than just a dwelling to many people, it has to be said. And the things that go into it build a lifetime of memories that far outlast the home's utility as something that can be sold off for even more money than it was bought for. Make no mistake; even people who look at it that way still have feelings for them, though those who have really 'lived' in them report having even stronger feelings.
