"It can be flawless!"
Instead of setting unrealistic expectations, why don't we recognize that to be flawless is to be supernatural? Let us dream, plan, and design for wonderfully beautiful, functional spaces worthy of our time spent in them. May we then embrace the fact that rooms will be covered in memories and full of evidences of life instead of clinging to utopian hopes of perfection.
I firmly believe that everything should have a place, cleanliness is essential, and good stewardship is displayed in maintaining and respecting a home. With that in mind, at the end of the day, if a home is truly flawless, I tend to believe it is unoccupied.
