Looking for a dream home?


Owning a dream home, whether it looks like a castle or feels like a tiny hideaway, is often the best opportunity a person will ever have for achieving romantic notions of the good life. The only limit is one’s imagination. – Dennis Wedlick, Good House Hunting

While cruising around the Slow Home Website I stumbled upon a review of Good House Hunting by Dennis Wedlick, an architect and writer who has developed a practical guide for creating one’s dream home. Good House Hunting offers a step by step guide for defining a vision of the home that’s right for you and your family and then finding a property that can fulfill that vision. He makes practical suggestions, like planning a budget that leaves enough money for you to realize your personal vision. Paying attention to the small details of day to day activities and storage needs and prioritizing your indulgences. After all, having a home is not about where you live as much as it is about how you live.
