Real Estate

Every year, our neighbors ask when we’re going to set up our decorations.

It’s such a transformation!

According to Zillow.

This Craftsman bungalow became so much airier.

It taught me so much about impermanence and possessions.

It’s radiant!

I’ve always imagined myself with one someday. But the experts have warnings.

They’re warm, provide extra seating, and are oh-so-cute.

It’s so cool.

They’re highly useful.

Something much cozier is replacing it.

It looks so cute.

I love these smart picks.

It's easy if you know what you need to do.

These small changes make a big impact.

I thought I'd have one final goodbye that would bring me some closure, but real life had other plans.

I love this feature.

It looks so cozy.

"Priced out of paradise" isn't just a saying. It's a hard reality.

Being spared had nothing to do with our climate prep. It was pure luck.

Before you get carried away in a fantasy, try this.

It makes so much sense.

They're a treasure trove of eccentric gems.

There’s etiquette to consider, but it could save you thousands of dollars.

These are so useful.

I love these things.

Almost two years ago, my husband and I bought our dream home on the Gold Coast of Queensland, Australia: a 1980s brick house with three bedrooms, two baths, and 2,900-square-foot space. It has all the hallmarks of the era it came from — single-glazed windows, gaps that leaked air, gas appliances, and no insulation in the ceiling or internal walls — but we fell in love with it at first viewing.

This tiny, awkward space needed smart solutions.

It's so classy.

They’re fairy-tale like.

They’re so nice.

I’m obsessed.

The trend doesn’t always apply to you.

These are so useful — and so affordable.

The bones were beautiful — it just needed brightening up.

I love its replacement.

It might not be cheaper than paying rent or a mortgage, but it has its perks.

It's so nice-looking (and smells good, to boot!).

I can't wait to watch this one.

I want to move in.

These picks are vintage-coded, and oh-so-cozy.

They’re classy, functional, and feel so luxe.

Glass blocks, black marble, black toilets…

These gems are worth it.

It looks so gorgeous!

Don’t make these homebuying mistakes.

They're looking at a surprising locale.

These are just as neutral — without feeling dated.
