House Renovation: From A Mother’s Point Of View
Every 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.” Unusual as it may seem, this quote turned more real 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 has got the eye of the tiger for details. You hesitated; but were innervated when you have remembered seeing shows in the television and reading much about it on magazines. In a short moment you told yourself: My cognizance is enough! What you want to do eventually came out, encapsulated in one word: renovation!
Before we start 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 colorful as before? Do they possess 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 imperfect to our eyes? If we responded yes to any of these questions, then our askant view about our family’s future is just right. And we know for sure 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 crowd of weaklings that cannot even lift a nail? Well, for the information of non-home makers, we are also capable of making novel things; particularly 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 start with our project. The things that we may do are the following: Change Colors – Color is everything; it affects our moods. We should determine 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, unhelpful and cumbersome things we still keep in the house that gets it jammed; Add- The balance lies in addition and subtraction. If we take aside old things, the remedy is to replace them with new and definitely accomodating 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 element that gives vibrancy.
Restlessness and Muscle Aches, these are the sure symptoms that we will experience after this project. At the end of our valiant and wearing pursuit, we may be even marked as bizarre for our fearless 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 luckily, we are moms; we know best.
