Home.. Just the word bring me many memories of my childhood. After marriage we had to move around a lot and settling down had not been an option till a couple of months earlier. We had to settle down somewhere and so we did, in a place that was convenient in all terms.
We had bought an apartment earlier, but that was not at all convenient (I am not talking about space) so we sold it and started looking for a plot. Finally we got one within our budget range. From there it had been a very impatient wait. But the workers we had were very skilled and patient. The planning and designing took ages, not to mention the paperwork and the government offices. Finally we did it. We had built our home according to our taste and liking.
It was like seeing a baby grow, just faster. And when we stand in the mere skeleton of the house deciding what should go where, we can actually see our future in the house. It is a pleasure that I think everyone should enjoy. Still there are few flaws and dents which I think could have been planned better. But with the limited space and budget constraints, I am satisfied with what we have
We have tried to incorporate our past and plans for the future in the house. I think that is what makes it feel special. The memories we build with the house. Though its been 5 months (can you believe it... time flies by) I feel so connected already.
We do have a long list of DIYs and tweaks that we would like to do to decorate the house. But right now the bare walls and the sparse furniture keeps us cosy.
In the meantime I would like to record some of the improvements that has happened since we moved here.
I did not click any pictures for the purpose of blogging, so bear with me when the pics are not up to the mark.
It started from this - an empty ground
Still we are really proud of our house and about the work we had done with it. We had only gotten help for the elevation. Even the house plan or the floor plan was designed by us, the engineer had to just tweak a few for the pillars and beams. So there is no one to blame but us if there is a hitch somewhere.
Though we are not the decor type we do try and make it a better place rather than an eye sore. So I shall record some of the DIYs, tweaks and decors we do around the house. Our home is still very much in its initial stage and needs a lot of attention and spending. We will go about it in our own pace still enjoying life with friends and family.

It started from this - an empty ground
To this - a house with its full structures
To this - a house on the brink of becoming a home
