decorate my house

i will like to make this house the best ever

decorated the lounge and dining area but still need a new carpet.

I love my house! There are a few things I want fixed and spruced up. I’d like a nice painting in my bedroom, I want to change all the doorknobs, get a new fence, paint over a spot…things like that.

We’re moving to a larger home in September, and one of my goals is to decorate. We’re not painting, because the rental agency doesn’t do proper maintenance and would likely require us to repaint when we move out, but I want to make it feel like a home, and not just the place we live. I’m going to have a bunch of my photos printed and framed, and hang paintings and other decor. Each child’s room will have a theme, and will be decorated in complimentary colors with hand painted artwork and other decor elements.

As I prepare things, and after we move, I’ll update with the results.

Me and my husband own our house. Owned it for 4 years now. Still haven’t decorated it the way I want it. So I will be starting this one next year.

Part of my issue is home organization, so I’m chipping away at that—making sure like is with like, making sure things get filed.

Rather than get blocked by the “office” disaster, I’ve taken a new tack. I’ve chosen paint for the front hallway—this is something I can do one wall at a time if needed, and I think the change will feel good. A little positive motion to get things rolling!

I’ve nearly finished my bedroom and am very pleased with the result! I painted the ceiling and 3 of the walls then got my dad to wallpaper the other wall, got a few accessories and curtains to match and it looks really nice. Apart from the wallpapering, I did it all on my own and am feeling pleased with myself as I haven’t really done much decorating before, and certainly not on my own. Just got to get a carpet to match and it will be finished (oh and also take the curtains up and get a different curtain pole, but they are minor details!).

a lampshade! You have to start somewhere!

I always thought I’d be good at it, so this is a very depressing conclusion. It’s amazing how it takes apart my ego when I drag home a new item and find out it looks like (&#$#@*& in my livingroom.

I’m getting the living room painted and then I’ll hang all of my things one the walls. I’m so excited!
