Life and my children are gifts which I am eternally grateful for, but I decided to be good to my space for a change!
Since April I have been on a quest to improve our home, and turn it into a space I can love. Yip, I fell out of love with my house and my children's home! My mind had been over occupied with raising the trio and left me mostly exhausted and uninspired.
The renovation bug bit me recently and I got my house, kids and I a few gifts, from brand new floor tiles to a porcelain cistern.
The tired unimaginative brown carpet got replaced by shiny tiles (minus underfloor heating feature). Drum roll...now we can mop and sweep with ease! No more dust ridden air whenever the vacuum cleaner is used.
The cistern, which has been gradually separating itself from the wall; and making my fear of flooding seem more likely, than unlikely- will soon make room for glassware!
We got a new porcelain cistern that'll soon sport a vintage look; after inspiration gained from Pinterest!
Needless to say , I'm feeling quite accomplished and proud of myself; despite the fact that I might only get round to painting the miss matched walls-where the fitted cupboards ( favourite 'hide-and-seek' spot!) were- after the next financial year end!
The financial strain and sacrifice dwindle into nothingness, when I remind myself- a change is as good as a holiday!
In the mean time, I will stick to doing WHAT I can, WHEN I can!
