Home Renovation: From A Mother’s Point Of View

Family Add comments

Each nook and cranny of your home was comforting when suddenly, an offer of a new beginning came knocking on your door. Straightaway, you saw your tainted curtains, your dull furniture, and your boring lay-out. You remembered one quotation, “Do not do for tomorrow what you can do for today.” Weird as it may appear, this quote turned more realistic to you than at any time that you have been a mother to three beautiful kids. Being the mother, you understood that you are the only one who can do it; the one who possesses the eye of the tiger for details. You wavered; but were innervated when you have recalled seeing demos in the television and reading much about it on magazines. In a short moment you told yourself: My cognizance is enough! What you desire to do finally came out, capsulized in one word: renovation!

Before we start getting giddy painting and buying things that we need, let us first be smart and make a checklist for our project: Are our sofas not as colorful 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 questions, then our askant 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 consolidate a knowledge of reinventing things which may need the powers of an engineer; a plan of a new theme which may need the abilities 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 bunch of weaklings that cannot even lift a nail? Well, for the information of non-home makers, we are also capable of managing 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 essential weapons for house reinvention.

After our home check-up and budget computing, let us now at last begin with our project. The things that we may do are the following: Modify Colors – Color is everything; it touches our moods. We should find the perfect color that will fit onto 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, unaccomodating and cumbersome things we still keep in the house that causes it to be 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 amiable 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 factor that gives vibrancy.

Uneasiness and Muscle Aches, these are the sure symptoms that we will experience after this project. At the end of our brave and wearing pursuit, we may be even marked 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 gained 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.
