Creativity and imagination
I love changing the look of a room or doing new and creative
things and when I see someone who has done something different I respect that.
I saw a picture of a room where they had two children reading while sitting on
a net.
While I appreciate the innovative nature of the homeowner, it does not
look real comfortable to me, but who’s to say.
I remember when I built my first home and I wanted to leave
out the carpet during the sale period, because I wanted the new homeowner to
pick out their own carpet. I was going to put carpet samples in the house and
that would allow the people coming through the home to get an idea of what type
of carpet they would like. I found out very quickly what the Realtor, that I had
hired, said was right. People have no imagination and because there was no
carpet on the floor that they were walking on at the time they were viewing
the home was plywood, they thought that the plywood was going to be the floor
that they were going to have to live with. Too many people could not imagine
the carpet of their choice in the room; they needed it to be there when they
looked at the house.
To me that was very sad.
I have to admit, I was shocked at the lack of creativity and
imagination that people had, not to mention the desire to choose their own
carpet. If it were me, I would have been happy that the builder gave me the
choice. I guess that is why the big builders build model homes, because if they
did not, no one would buy one of their homes. Unfortunately, I bent to the
pressure and put carpet in the home before it was sold, so the new buyers had
to live with my taste in carpet and not their own.
In my business of Property Management in Anaheim Ca. I have
to talk to people all the time about what is important to them, and what is not
and in all my years of being in this business, I remember only one woman who
was using her imagination. She was buying a home and the home had many problems,
but she was telling me enthusiastically how in one small room she was going to
set it up so her children could bring their friends and dance and have a good
time. Her creativity was bubbling over
and I was impressed. I don’t know how it turned out for her, but I’m sure she
made it happen the way she imagined.
At the beginning, I talked about a home with a net for
sitting and how It did not look comfortable to me, but the imagination and
creativity should be applauded and I would much rather have a room that I tried
something new that did not work out, instead of a home that never changes.
