You Know You’re a Homeowner When…

Owning a home isn’t just about picking paint colors or hanging that perfect family portrait. It’s a lifestyle change that comes with its own set of quirks and unexpected joys. If you’re finding yourself excited about mulch sales or debating lightbulb color temperatures, congratulations — you’re officially a homeowner.

Signs You’ve Crossed into Full-On Homeowner Territory

🛠️ You Get Excited About Mulch Sales
When did landscaping become thrilling? You know you’re in deep when a fresh batch of dark mulch makes your front yard look like the cover of a home improvement magazine.

💡 You Know the Difference Between Lightbulbs
Warm vs. cool, wattages, lumens, and the all-important debate over LED vs. incandescent. You can probably discuss these topics as confidently as a hardware store employee.

🧰 You Have a Toolbox (and Actually Use It)
Gone are the days of surviving with just an IKEA Allen wrench. Now, you’ve got a full toolkit, complete with drill bits, pliers, and the unmistakable sense of pride when you fix something yourself.

🏠 You Have a Preferred Home Improvement Store
You have a favorite spot for buying tools, paint, and plumbing supplies — and it probably has a rewards program you actually use.

🌳 You Know More About Your Lawn Than You Ever Thought Possible
From learning the perfect mowing height to mastering the art of weed control, you’re practically a part-time landscaper now.

A fun post.  When you look around the house and see something that needs fixing and you know who to call and it’s not the landlord

Good morning Laura. Mulch and outdoor lighting became my passion when I lived in Florida. The amount of outdoor lighting I had was by some standards insane. For me, just right. More than one high powered transformer involved. And whether it was eucalyptus deep brown color, the best mulch as it was bug resistant, or red colored mulch, I kept mine fresh year round. Enjoy your day.
