Home Renovation: From A Mother’s Point Of View

Every corner and cranny of your home was comforting when all of a sudden, an offer of a new beginning arrived knocking on your door. Immediately, you saw your musty curtains, your dull furniture, and your boring lay-out. You recollected one quotation, "Do not do for tomorrow what you can do for today." Unusual as it may seem, this quote became 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 possesses the eye of the tiger for details. You wavered; but were innervated when you have recalled seeing shows in the television and reading much about it on magazines. In a brief moment you said to yourself: My cognizance is enough! What you desire to do finally came out, capsulized in one word: renovation!

Before we jump on getting giddy painting and purchasing things that we need, let us first be prudent and make a checklist for our project: Are our sofas not as colorful as before? Do they have a pigment that is becoming an magnet for germs and other microorganisms? Are our once cream-colored comfy 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 queries, then our wandering 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 consolidate a knowledge of reinventing things which may need the powers of an engineer; a plan of a new theme which may need the powers 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 crew of weaklings that cannot even lift a nail? Well, for the information of non-home makers, we are also capable of performing 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 calculation, let us now at last begin with our project. The things that we may do are the following: Change Colors - Color is everything; it touches our moods. We should find 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, unaccomodating and cumbersome things we still keep in the house that gets it crowded; Add- The balance lies in addition and subtraction. If we take aside old things, the remedy is to replace them with new and definitely helpful ones. These additions should not only be affable 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.

Uneasiness and Muscle Aches, these are the certain symptoms that we will experience after this project. At the end of our gallant and wearing pursuit, we may be even tagged as offbeat for our audacious 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.
