House Renovation: From A Mother’s Point Of View
Every corner and cranny of your home was alright when all of a sudden, an offer of a new beginning arrived knocking on your door. Immediately, you saw your musty curtains, your dull furniture, and your boring lay-out. You recollected one quotation, “Do not do for tomorrow what you can do for today.” Weird as it may appear, this quote grew more realistic to you than at any time that you have been a mother to three beautiful kids. Being the mother, you realized that you are the only one who can do it; the one who holds the eye of the tiger for details. You wavered; but were innervated when you have recalled seeing shows in the television and reading much about it on magazines. In a brief moment you said to yourself: My consciousness is enough! What you desire to do eventually came out, capsulized in one word: renovation!
Before we begin getting giddy painting and buying things that we need, let us first be wise and make a checklist for our project: Are our sofas not as vibrant as before? Do they have a pigment that is becoming an attraction for germs and other microorganisms? Are our once cream-colored soothing bed turned into a gray-colored cushion with deep depressions? Does everything just seem flawed to our eyes? If we answered yes to any of these queries, then our wandering view about our family’s future is just right. And we know for certain that our being perfectionist will not let this moribundity continue.
With all the careful scrutiny and budgeting, the process of renovation may really seem abstruse. It will incorporate a knowledge of reinventing things which may need the powers of an engineer; a plan of a new theme which may need the talents of an architect; and of course, a basket of pixie dust (that will make your new home a picturesque of beauty) which may need the magic of a fairy. But who says we cannot be an interior designer? Who says mothers are just a bundle of weaklings that cannot even lift a nail? Well, for the information of non-home makers, we are also capable of making novel things; specially if it is for our dear families. With this vindication, we can now “borrow” our hubby’s bandoleer and arm it with our necessary weapons for house reinvention.
After our home check-up and budget calculation, let us now at last begin with our project. The things that we may do are the following: Change Colors – Color is everything; it touches our moods. We should find the perfect color that will suit the different personalities in our home; Get Over: Space is precious; it is the key to lay-out. We should get over with the old, unaccommodating and cumbersome things we still keep in the house that makes it crowded; Add- The balance lies in addition and subtraction. If we take away old things, the remedy is to replace them with new and definitely helpful ones. These additions should not only be affable to our family but also to the size of our home; and lastly, Creativity- Creativity is the cherry on top of our ice-cream. It is the element that gives vibrancy.
Restlessness and Muscle Aches, these are the sure symptoms that we will get after this project. At the end of our valiant and tiring pursuit, we may be even labeled as offbeat for our bold venture into something we are not really familiar with. But do not fret and regret, success or not, we certainly earned something out of it. Just like what one quotation said, “Experience is what you get when you do not get what you want.” With a “new” home, we can now be rest assured that every nook and cranny is fine. We may not be experts on house renovation but fortunately, we are moms; we know best.
