Wow I really enjoyed this, I really related to this here recently:
“Yes, it’s an old house. In fact, it’s over 100 years old (it’s been renovated since then, but still). I usually tend to get creeped out over old places, however in this case, I think the age is part of its charm. I love the high ceilings, the arched door frame in the hallway, the stained glass windows above the front door. I love the old-fashioned light switches and the ornate door knobs. I despise modern interior design. There’s something so cold and lifeless about the lack of colour and the “minimalism.” When I look at the details of my grandparents’ house, no matter how old it is, I’m reminded of how lacking in personality modern houses are.”
The details here make me think a little bit about my wife’s grandma’s house: so old and so much personality and unique detail!! Then we have these subdivisions going up with 5 versions of the same house. Anyway this was a great read!!
So true about the subdivisions you see where every house is basically a carbon copy of each other. There definitely is a level of detail in older houses that is more rare nowadays! Thank you for the kind words!! :)
I'm glad I'm not alone in being attached to a house that was never even mine lol. And don't worry, I've already started the process of taking photos of every room haha.

My grandparents moved house about 20 years ago and I still think about their old house. Take loads of pictures!
