Seeing your home through new eyes
When my wife and I moved into our house just around four years ago, we were full of good intentions. Every room needed decorating, we would finally buy co-ordinated furniture for each room. We would make sure we treated ourselves to new bedroom furniture from the akka range for ourselves and not just for customers. We would strip back the floors, re-tile the bathroom, put preserver on the shed and insulate the loft.
Did we do it all? Hell, no! We still have our old oak furniture and the same bed that we had in the last house, we even still have the coaster in the same place on the bedside table where I keep meaning to polish out the water mark that got left there when I put down a nice wet cup of tea on the top!
So, have we got lazy? Are we too busy to fix our house up the way we would like? Maybe both, but the chances are that we have just got used to living with things the way they are and we stop seeing how things could be different. For those of you who have seen, ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ you’ll know how James Stewart never gets around to fixing the cap on the bottom wooden banister post which always comes away in his hand as he walks upstairs. We need to see things through a fresh set of eyes.
Why not download our room planner from the link on the home page and think about how you could see your home differently? Maybe it really is time to stop ignoring the fact that most of your clothes are piled up in awkward places because you don’t have the wardrobe you want. Or maybe it’s time to lose the formica topped tallboy that Aunty Maud lent you to ‘tide you over’ and replace it with something you really want.
Go on, take a look at your house now and see it through fresh eyes. Engage that imagination of yours and start thinking how great it would be to finally get that lovely walnut bed you always wanted!!
