- one minute its a black kitchen, the next minute its going to be white!!
- I think I like pebble tiles....then I'm not so sure!
- do I go for painted doors....or should I go for wood?
- Do I really need coving....no...or maybe I do?
- WILL IT ALL COME TOGETHER....????
information overload
has this happened to anyone else??....am I alone in my total indecisiveness and absolute fear of the "interior design"???
Make a decision and stick to you. Don't keep looking for the "bigger, better deal"... as you will always find it!... and then how do you stop? Trust your instincts.... trust your inate sense of style. You can do it! Read all your motivating side bar quotes love! A-M xx
ReplyDeleteOh my husband is with you A-M, I'd say I'm driving him crazy! and you are right of course, I do know these things really, just think the enormity of the project has got to me for the moment....
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog and it's fun to see your progress with this house!
ReplyDeleteI'd go white kitchen as we have such dull weather in Ireland it will keep it bright, light and clean looking:)
ReplyDeleteYou'll like the tiles once the room is finished but don't have the same tiles in all bathrooms
Have one bathroom with painted walls and tiles only where required as that way you can change the decor really easily and accessorize using different colours when you want a change.
Painted doors are alot of work as you will need to repaint them sooner than you would have to revarnish, also remember if you paint doors you'll have to also paint architraves and all skirting boards too.
Coving is pretty but depends what kind of overall look you are going for, also if you have some sloped ceiling the coving won't look as good.
My advise to you is forget other people's home and design yours just the way you like it :) If that means green tiles and orange carpets go for it!
And here's me telling you what to do!
All things nice...
Just loving your blog : ) keep up the great work.
ReplyDeleteOh dear!
ReplyDeleteI completely empathise.....
Just take a break...step back....so be it if you dont move in on time, perhaps go away for a weekend, maybe even a nice treatment in some spa.
I can't imagine the enormity of this whole project. Would you perhaps consider getting a professional interior designer in for the day as a springboard for your ideas to get their professional opinion if not to benefit from their fresh eyes.
