My neighbor told me my new siding looks like a hospital
We were having a beer on his porch in Cincinnati when he said the bright white vinyl I picked makes the whole house feel cold and sterile. He pointed at his own place, which has that warm cedar shake look, and said 'Homes should feel lived in, not clean.' It hit me that I chose for easy upkeep, not for how it feels to come home. Anyone else get stuck on the practical side and forget the mood?

Did you actually notice how it felt coming home before he pointed it out?

Nah, practical is king. You'll get tired of maintenance way before you get tired of clean.
