So now something basic. I am totally confused. We are currently living in a 3-room apartment with about 70 sqm. The size is absolutely okay for us. Everything fits in. And now I’m planning a house with about 120 sqm and nothing fits anymore. How can that be?
Just thinking about the bedroom alone. At the moment it’s nice with a large walk-in closet, a dresser (for bed linens), a matching cabinet (filled to the brim with care products, cosmetics, glasses, bags, etc.) and a makeup corner with a vanity table. Now when I think about coming in and my front door first blocking the cabinet, no space for vanity table, dresser and cabinet (where to put all the stuff?), I could cry. This is just crap. It can’t be that we are worse off with a home of our own than before. I know this sounds like I’m a whining brat, but it just makes me unhappy.
If I already don’t like how the house could become, would you pull back and give up building? So far we’ve only burned a few thousand on architect, surveyor, etc., but are still waiting for the notary appointment.
Now in our area it’s a real pain to find a plot at all. After over 3 years of searching, this was our only chance and it’s also a good location, acceptable price, no slope, etc. This is basically what I have worked and dreamed for all these years and now it’s not at all how I imagined it.
I am so frustrated. Sorry for the whinging, but I just had to get it off my chest.
