I think of this as a multistep process. I feel embarassed because I’ve seen all my girlfriends homes and they’re so beautiful and tidy. Mine looks like a dump in comparison. I’ve listed some things to be improved – change to efficient lighting – regrout the shower stall – remove paint from the bathroom door – declutter – get some hardy plants for the balcony – repair 2 cupboard doors and the bathroom rail. I am decluttering but it is long, slow and hard. Now to make those phone calls to get the repairs done.
Update 7 Nov 09 – 1 cupboard done; shelf added in laundry; shower stall resealed. Handyman to fix bathroom rail once I sand and paint it. It’s still on my dining table.
