I've written a handful of books on architectural history, and yet for years, I lived in rental properties because I was way too poor to buy a house. I traveled around giving lectures on homeownership, and yet I lived in a crappy apartment.
Then I got married and my husband and I bought a big old house. It was a big old mistake. Too much work, too much money, and it was an unfriendly neighborhood.
Then, after much "discussion," he agreed to move into another house.
The house I'm in now is a "Mid-Century Modern" brick ranch, and I love. Every day, I am grateful to be in a house that really suits me.
When a home is bought its closing date is pretty important and sometimes memorable. Even those who moved into rental homes remember the first day of their signed lease/move in. Do you know the anniversary date of when you moved into your current home? Do you celebrate or acknowledge the date in any way? If so, please share how you mark the occasion!
Maybe the 1st anniversary. After that, seems a little weird to celebrate move-in day.
Rose, your bathroom is charming. A friend of mine still has her original lavendar bathroom toilet, tub and sink that came with the house and she won't change it either. It's nice to see a truly original bathroom that hasn't been updated to look just like all the other updated baths in the latest issues of decorator magazines.
We don't celebrate the anniversary of our purchase of this house and never even thought to do so. I'm not even sure I know the date we bought it. All I remember is we took possession around St. Patricks day.
But, then again, hubby and I aren't really sure exactly what day we got married either. We're not big into anniversaries.
We will celebrate when we close because we've been living in a hotel. I plan on running around the house after my husband carries me over the threshold for the first time. Lol we also plan to christen the house before the movers arrive. Lol
I don't think we will celebrate the anniversary of our close date, but I think we will remember it.

ahhhhh, young love, young house love.
I remember those starry eyed days fondly.
That last's until the boiler goes, or the roof starts leaking and then reality set's in.

I always remember the date we moved in. It was the same day the Big Thompson flood occurred 80 miles north of us. We didn't know it at the time because it happened in the evening and we were still busy moving in. It was the worst flood in Colorado history and 144 people died that night in 1976. It always makes me think how life can change in a moment.
Remembering house closing date(s), heck I have enough trouble trying to remember birthdays and anniversaries. I do remember writing a huge check for the cost of the house, paying cash for it.
We don't really celebrate, but we do know the move in date for this house since it's April Fool's Day 2011 and easy to remember.
Our first house as a married couple was bought December, 2001, but I don't remember the exact date. We did just finish paying off that mortgage earlier this year, although we didn't throw a party for that, either. However, we've now remortgaged it to buy our next house.
The closing date on the next one is scheduled for October 16th, but we will probably move in November 1st and remember that date instead. I guess we could throw a party, but it's a house that is in "need of a little work" so it won't be party ready for quite some time.
That last's until the boiler goes, or the roof starts leaking and then reality set's in.
But Congratulations! and good luck!
Lol thanks!

Once. But not perpetually.
We're not big into anniversaries.
