TIP #2: Use words like “How to” or “Make a” or “DIY” or even “Handmade”..
interesting in here!.Just for fun, let’s have a look at where we started in this master bedroom..
It was bad, right?.And with no major renovations or installations, just paint and some pretty stuff, here’s how it’s looking today!.This little room re-do has been totally in the spirit of “just for now” so I can enjoy it and not pull my hair out while I’m waiting for us to be able to do some of the more major renos we’d like to do eventually.
I’ve been trying to do it using things that I can keep and continue to use and love later on down the road as well.I’m not done yet, but it’s already had much more of an impact on my daily enjoyment of my home than I ever thought it would..
The first thing I did that really made an impact was to paint out every single ugly dark brown surface in the room.
That obviously completely changed the feel of the place..But then, when I brought them home, Chris didn’t really get why this was a fundamentally awesome purchase.
He wasn’t against them.He was just more like “OK, but what’s the big deal?
Why are these absolutely necessary, right now, in this wind storm?” Not his exact words, but you get the sentiment.. Then I realized, yeah, I’m actually 29, a good 40 years under the average perceived rocking gramma stage (not a real stat).. Plus we don’t even have a front porch yet.That’s the rocking chair’s natural habitat!.
