Eco-Friendly Family

Anyone had the sudden urge just to change everything

about your house?  I want to completely redo my three main rooms.  I want to fix our fireplace, repaint a nice, warm color, get new, smaller and more comfy furniture, warmer lighting, new curtains, etc, etc, etc.  My kitchen even feels cold, boring and aih at the moment. 

Destructive nesting?  WTH!?

  • I'm in a funk about my house as well right now!  Wish we had some money to do something about it!

    There are a couple spots of paint on the wall that desperately need to be touched up, the woodwork is so banged up, and there is a major worn spot in our floors that I want to fix.

    There are also major things to fix like all new kitchen cabintes but for right now I'm focusing on these smaller things that are driving me nuts since they won't cost much money to fix I'm hoping I might be able to talk DH into actually working on them this winter...fingers crossed!

    But yea, I'd like to totally demo my whole house lately...and I'm not preggers!

  • Oh yeah. I can't tell you the number of times I rearranged our furniture while I was pregnant. One time Dh left for work and by the time he came home I had swapped our bedroom and the nursery (room-wise).
  • Yup.  We're actually getting ready to gut the upstairs bathroom after the first of the year.  It started with B saying, "The flooring is shot and I think we should lay some tile ..." and ended with me saying, "Well, I hate where the shower is, and the shower in general, and if we made the ridiculously large linen closet smaller we could move it over there, and what is UP with this light fixture placement ..."  So, yeah.  New bathroom. lol

  • We will be remodeling the bathroom after the holidays.  It's been a long time coming, but we have a pretty bad mold problem and the whole room needs to be taken down to the studs.  I think the previous owners were terrible DIYers and grouted right over a mold problem!

    I also want to paint every room in the house and rip out my kitchen.  These are things that I've wanted to do for a while, but I think the pregnancy is making it worse!

  • I feel like this a lot.  DH wonders why I picked this house if I don't like it.  The thing is, I LIKE it a lot, it just isn't perfect.  There's nothing wrong with buying something to work on.  It forces me to be patient at least, LOL.

  • We don't even own this house and I think about things it needs changed all the time. I'm ready to be a homeowner....some day but probably not for another 9 or so years :(
  • I am painting our room tomorrow, re arranging the furniture when it comes back in the room.

    On top of that I have been sorting a shelf or something some where in the house for weeks now.
