I've recently come to the conclusion that home decorating is addictive.
I hate it but I can't seem to stop myself.
We moved house less than 12 months ago, in a mad rush before we moved in the entire house was done. Since then the living room, hall and bathroom have been redone, I'm in the process of doing the office and before the end of the year the kids rooms will be redone as well and I'm starting to look at colours for our room.
In my defence it was a quick job initially to eradicate the 10 year old magnolia on every wall and celling but there seems to be a pattern emerging that's starting to annoy the hubby.
My argument was that the there was a patch high up in the hall that hadn't covered properly first time, plus I wasn't 100% happy with the colour and the carpet was awful so it made sense to repaint before that was changed. The living room was supposed to be the dining room which I wanted to darken and make cosy, we changed our minds and used the other room as the dining room, red and gold was fab over Christmas but come February I just thought it looked dingy so out came the paintbrush. The bathroom just needed a freshen up.
Our previous home we lived in for 2 years, it was all done as we moved but the kitchen and living room were done again in that time.
I just can't seem to leave it alone.
How often do most people redecorate?
