The idea attic encompasses many aspects of The Home. The Home is something we all aspire to: renting your own place, fixing it up, buying your own place, fixing it up, selling your place, finding a bigger place… the list goes on. The Home is where our life is; our family, friends, new babies, new recipes, homework, home office, movie flops, good news, bad news, new adventures, and so on. A famous architect once said that ‘the home is an organism for living.’ It is as adaptable as we are and allows us to be who we are.

At this very moment (because life changes on a dime) I AM four main aspects of the idea attic: a homeowner, a home seller, a landlord, and a tenant. The current housing market has put my husband and I in an interesting crossroads in which we are at four places at once, which doesn’t happen often. So, all of the posts here come from experience and a collection of my “You Only Have To Do That Once” list of things we have all learned. So, as a homeowner, home seller, landlord and tenant: enjoy the idea attic. There’s lots in storage, and I’ll keep putting things out there for you to dig through.
