Are You Blind to Your House?http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=5243673922221766785

When we move into a new house, our eyes are wide open. We notice everything. We measure the rooms, take note of the way the light affects the color on the walls, agonize over furniture placement, and make lists of things we want to change.

But have you noticed how our vision tends to blur after we’ve been living in the same place awhile? That’s why you can set a box of Christmas ornaments next to the basement door with the best intentions of carrying it down and putting it in storage, only to walk around it every day until March.
