| | So since it has been a while since I have updated on the things going on around here I will fill you in on the details. We have finally started decorating the house. After living here for 2 years I could take it no longer. When we bought this house we bought it as a foreclosure and knew that it needed a lot of work. What we didn't take into account was the fact that between the mortgage, utilites, and two (now three) kids was that we would have no money left over to do that work. The walls stayed white, there isn't a baseboard in the whole house, and our furniture was well... lets just say unpresentable. I was embarrassed to have anyone over in fear of the judgements that were sure to swirl around in their heads about us. Even worse I didn't feel like it was our home, but just some place we were staying. I didn't even put pictures on the wall or unpack any of my knic nacks. I felt like it was pointless, almost like tying a bow on a piece of crap and calling it pretty. My parents realized that I was pretty unhappy here and decided to help out. What started as just putting some color on the walls turned into a full out redecoration of the house. I couldn't be more thankful to them. Who knew a coat of paint could do so much to change my daily life. I am happier, more motivated to get things done, and am really starting to feel like this is our home. We still have a lot of work to do, because having three small children in the house and a husband who works tons of overtime doesn't exactly make it easy to paint and work on the things the need to be done. But hey we are getting there, and knowing that it's getting there makes things so much nicer. I almost wish I would have snapped before pictures so you could all see the huge difference, but I guess you will just have to live with the progress and finished work ones. |
