Decorating your home can be fun

Filed Under Home

Let me narrow this discussion to renovating or decorating a new home as opposed to a re-decoration. I always thought my hubby and I were the really queer lot. You see, when we moved into our new home, we decided to take our time furnishing our home and decorating it. We were after all in no hurry at that time (even now). We only bought what we felt comfortable with and not buying for the sake of having to finish up our house within 3 months. We figured that, first of all, we have to look at our bedroom furniture for eternity for instance and the last thing we want to do is get something that we will regret after staring at it for less than 2 week. Not forgetting, we need comfortable bedding too.

Secondly, if we had completed the renovation and decoration before we moved in then, we would have nothing else to do when we eventually move in and having your own home doesn’t seem as fun as we imagined it would be. Yes, we want to feel like its an endless personal project..LOL…Seriously, our main concern was of course ensuring that we like what we have done and to achieve that, we have to take our time, check out various designs, get the best price etc…We want to be satisfied to say the least. Even to this date, we have very minimum living room furniture.

For the longest time, I felt that we were totally too queer until I met a new friend who shared with me that she too has the same sentiments when decorating and renovating her new pad. WOW!! I finally felt like I belonged somewhere and not feel so isolated for always thinking that I am alone in my thoughts. As it turned out, my friend has tastefully decorated her new home and I loved her bedroom furniture. I must say that at least “our” strategy works!

Of course, if I had met her sooner, I’d recommend her to http://www.thefurniturewarehouse.net/. With their ever beautiful Tricia Furniture to the grand Highland Design Furniture, her choices would’ve increased two-fold. However, remember I was just telling you about how we love to gradually decorate our home? Well, she won’t be missing much, now would she? *wink*
