The other day I confided in a friend/client over dinner that one of the main reasons my son chose his high school was not because of its strong academics, not because of its extensive athletic and music programs, and not because of its stellar reputation among college admissions committees. He wanted to go there because it had, well … wall-to-wall carpeting, of all things.
She then confided in me that one of the main reasons she fell in love with the house I sold her and husband 9 years ago was because it had…a nice ceiling fan in the primary suite. Repeat: a nice ceiling fan in the primary suite. A ceiling fan which you can order on Amazon for $129. And have delivered the same day if you’re a Prime member. And have installed the same day it’s delivered if you hire my guy, Walter. And enjoy the same evening while you sleep.
Although I don’t pretend to be a ceiling fan aficionado, I will tell you this: don’t buy a house because you like a ceiling fan - or a light fixture, a medicine cabinet, the roman shades, or a toilet paper holder. Similarly, don't dismiss a house because you don’t like the ceiling fan, the light fixture, the medicine cabinet, the roman shades, or the toilet paper holder.
When you’re looking for a new home, let’s focus on the things that matter and cannot be easily changed: location, size, light, design, floorplan, views, value, and construction.
And then you can order other stuff from Amazon.

Garfield Park Spring Flower Show
|
This year’s Garfield Park Conservatory Spring Flower Show, "What’s in a Name?", explains the history and science of botanical nomenclature alongside a beautiful flower show full of blooms. Plant names are an important way of communicating history, culture, and identity. In addition, because there are many plants with the same common name, or many common names for the same plant, knowing the botanical name helps people know exactly which plant is which. Learn about how to identify plants amongst stunning spring blooms like Tulipa ‘Rococo’, Lilium ‘Josephine’, Viola ‘Matrix Yellow’ and Anemone ‘Giant Blue Poppy’. Garfield Park Conservatory, a national botanical treasure, is the 3rd largest garden under glass in the world and spans 12 acres of indoor and outdoor gardens.
