My solution was to come up with one room I could fix enough to be able to say that I like it (not love it.. not enough money for love). <BR/><BR/>For me that was the northeast bedroom. We refinished the hardwood floor and painted the walls. I even went off and did a playing along at home version of "Get Color!" (http://bungalowdreams.fibergeek.com/2006/03/get_color_playing_along_at_hom_1.html) That went a long way towards making it more fun and likable. At this point I can say I like the room. I hope you can get to the same place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14729386.post-1143927139384396512006-04-01T16:32:00.000-05:002006-04-01T16:32:00.000-05:00Hang in there.

I remember when we crossed the threshold of more done than not done as far as our living space goes- still plenty to do believe me! My attitude got alot better.<BR/><BR/>Just remember for every low there will a corresponding high point to experience. Hope this doesn't sound too preachy!Jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13570623978361702328noreply@blogger.com
