What I wanted to share was this quote by Tommy...
Q: What do you think is the best renovation you can do to your home?Hallelujah!!!!
TS: Whatever renovation suits your lifestyle! I'm a bit fed up of hearing about homeowners who feel that their reno simply has to be appropriate for resale. Life's too short to be designing one’s home to suit the next person who lives there -- do what’s right for you.
I believe this whole-heartedly- my only exception to this is when you are planning on selling in the next 2-3 years. Other than that, decorate for you and your family. You bought the space to enjoy, so decorate it for your enjoyment.

Thank you for that post. It's so funny, lately I've been thinking about how the next owner will like the changes I make to my home. How silly is that. You do have a good point about being more careful if you're moving in a couple years. We are so my husband keeps reminding me that he doesn't want to paint again so don't pick out strange colors. I think my colors are fine.
ReplyDeleteCan someone please tell my husband this, lol! Seriously, we plan on being here at least 5, and it may be longer. I want to paint my walls, lol.
