The author reflects on her experience of purchasing a house during the pandemic post-divorce, emphasizing the panic-driven decision-making process. Despite loving the unique architectural features, she describes frustrations with an awkward living room design and mismatched floors. The hasty nature of the purchase led her to miss important details, like a misaligned mantel and outdated lighting fixtures. Though she has no regrets about the home overall, she expresses a desire for better insight into home renovations for future purchases to avoid similar headaches.
When I moved in, I was pandemic house shopping after my divorce, so I had a short window of time to find my next place.
I totally didn't notice the mantel's length or the lighting fixtures because I was very stressed and overwhelmed.
I do wish I had the time to pay attention to the details beforehand.
I also would like to know the types of questions to ask if I ever come across another haphazardly renovated room again.
