(ENG/ESP) 🏠✨ Ladies of Hive Community Contest #255: Small or big house? / ¿Casa pequeña o grande? 🏠✨


ENGLISH CONTENT


Hello to all the women in this community! As always, I’ve managed to keep myself busy doing a lot of things without having to leave the house, which has led me to realize that the days fly by and I don’t have enough time for everything I want to do. Doesn’t that happen to you? 😅 Still, I always like to read the questions for the weekly contest, to see if they resonate with me and in this round #255, one of the approaches feels like a perfect fit for me, since it’s something I’ve experienced and am experiencing... well, similar.

🏠✨ You've earned the money to buy a house, and you have two options. The first is a big, beautiful house, but one whose best years are behind it. It needs a lot of repairs and remodeling, and therefore its price is low. The second option is a small house. It's not as beautiful as the previous one, but you don't have to invest time or money in repairs so its price is much higher than the previous one. What do you choose? Are you on the "repair to my liking" team or the "buy everything ready and fast" team? 🏠✨


Currently, I'm living in a small apartment with my three siblings. But a couple of years ago, that wasn't the case. We lived for over a decade in a fairly large house, with enough land to build a house next to it or on top of it. Suffice it to say that wasn't just my parents' idea, but also to build a pool, haha.


But unfortunately, the house needed a lot of repairs, and over time, its appearance began to deteriorate. Future plans faded, so we just lived there, unable to exploit the land's potential. However, many of the neighbors began to remodel their homes after their children left the country and began sending money to their parents. That's how we began to see how houses similar to ours, or in worse condition, ended up becoming majestic, and one even had a pool, haha.

We ended up moving because we wanted to live in a space without the leaks or electrical issues that the big house had, which made living there somewhat stressful. But where we are now doesn't have nearly the space that that place had. For me, who's used to taking on a large space when sewing or doing a large craft project, space can be limiting, and the same goes for storage, because there simply isn't enough room. Still, I've managed to not be held back by it.


That way, I think if I had enough money, I would remodel the big house from scratch, because there's nothing better than having enough space to do your activities and have everything just the way you like it. Now, if it were just for me, I wouldn't have any problems with the small house with everything set up, because with a bedroom, one for my things, the kitchen, the bathroom, and a small workshop, I'd be happy haha. So in my case, the most influential factor is whether I have to share that house. After living alone for a while, I've learned to appreciate it. I believe I need my space, where I can lock myself away and spend hours sewing without disturbing others with noise or singing without problems.

CONTENIDO EN ESPAÑOL


¡Hola a todas las mujeres de esta comunidad! Como siempre, me las he arreglado para andar ocupada haciendo muchas cosas sin tener que salir de casa, lo cual me ha llevado a percibir que los días se me pasan volando y las horas no me alcanzan para todo lo que quiero hacer ¿No les sucede? 😅 Aún así, siempre me gusta leer las preguntas para el concurso semanal, para ver si resuenan conmigo y en esta ronda #255, uno de los planteamientos siento que me viene como anillo al dedo, ya que es algo que viví y estoy viviendo... bueno, parecido.

🏠✨ Has ganado el dinero para comprar una casa y tienes dos opciones. La primera es una casa grande y hermosa, pero cuyas mejores épocas ya pasaron. Necesita muchas reparaciones y remodelaciones, por lo que su precio es bajo. La segunda opción es una casa pequeña. No es tan bonita como la anterior, pero no tienes que invertir tiempo ni dinero en reparaciones, así que su precio es mucho más alto. ¿Qué eliges? ¿Eres del equipo de "reparar a mi gusto" o del equipo de "comprar todo listo y rápido"? 🏠✨


Actualmente, estoy viviendo en un pequeño apartamento con mis tres hermanos. Pero hace un par de años, eso no era así. Nosotros estuvimos viviendo por más de una década en una casa bastante grande, con terreno amplio suficiente para construir una casa al lado o construir arriba de la misma casa. Con decirles que esa no sólo era la idea de mis padres, sino también el construir una piscina jaja.


Pero lamentablemente, la casa necesitaba muchísimas reparaciones y con el tiempo, el aspecto de la misma comenzó a decaer. Los planes a futuro se esfumaron, así que sólo vivíamos allí, sin poder explotar el potencial del terreno. Sin embargo, muchos de los vecinos comenzaron a remodelar sus casas gracias a que sus hijos se fueron del país y comenzaron a enviarle dinero a sus padres. De ese modo, comenzamos a ver cómo casas parecidas a las de nosotros o en peores condiciones, acababan volviéndose majestuosas y hasta una tenía su piscina jaja.

Nosotros nos terminamos mudando ante la posibilidad de vivir en un espacio sin tener los problemas de filtración o eléctricos que tenía la casa grande y que hacía que vivir allí, fuese algo estresante. Pero donde estamos, no tiene para nada el espacio de aquel lugar. Para mí, que estoy acostumbrada a abarcar un gran espacio a la hora de coser o realizar algún proyecto de manualidad grande, el espacio puede resultarme limitante, lo mismo a la hora de guardar cosas, porque simplemente ya no hay espacio. Aún así, me las he arreglado para no detenerme por ello.


De ese modo, yo considero que si tuviera el dinero suficiente, yo si remodelaría desde cero la casa grande, porque no hay nada más genial que tener el espacio suficiente para hacer tus actividades y tener todo a tu gusto. Ahora, si es para mí sola, no tendría problemas en la casa pequeña con todo listo, porque con una habitación para dormir, una para mis cosas, la cocina, el baño y un pequeño taller, yo sería feliz jaja Así que en mi caso, el factor que más influye es si tengo que compartir esa casa. Luego de haber vivido un tiempo sola, he aprendido a apreciarlo, considero que necesito mi espacio, en donde pueda encerrarme y pasar horas cosiendo sin molestar a otros por el ruido o cantar sin problemas.

Living alone gives you five comforts in a small space you can achieve, of course having the workshop organized

That's right. Since I've been living alone for a while, I've found comfort even in a small room, haha. Although, I'm one of those people who has their "order amidst the clutter." I often lose things if I move them, because I forget where I put them and only remember the previous place where they were. 😅 Thank you so much for visiting my post, for commenting, and for the support you've given 😌💚

I see why you like a spacious place :) Having your own workshop where you can move freely.

Personally, I prefer a smaller, cozy house, especially since it's just me, the hubby, and our LilGuy.

Yes, when I lived in the big house I didn't worry about space when doing my things 😅 I also like the idea of ​​a small place, but it depends on who I share it with, as you mentioned, your family must have a pleasant living dynamic hehe Thank you very much for reading my post and for commenting! 💚
