Interiors, words DIY. Join me on Instagram

There are a few projects in the home improvement department not quite finished around this house (and that friend is what you call an understatement) ▫️ Not urgent things of course which is why they get put on the back burner and let go while your attending to life and going to work and showing up where you need to be. Now anything I can turn my hand to in terms of DIY I’ll happily plunge into but wacking up a wall complete with plasterboard and cornicing is a little above my skill set so when we got the brain wave to divide our not quite finished back room in half we called in cleverer people than ourselves ▫️ While chatting with them about what needed doing I heard my well intentioned husband God bless him say a couple of times “oh leave that bit, I’ll do it”. That was not music to my ears, they are what I call famous last words so I had to kindly interject and say no sirree we will not be doing that. I let the builder know every last thing that needed to be done before I arrived with my paintbrush would be his responsibility ▫️ Kens point of view was valid, it costs less if you do some of the work yourself. We've spent years doing just that thing. I’ve got the broken finger nails and splinters and sore back to prove it. Ken too. But sometimes ones sanity is worth more than dollars and sometimes what a weary soul needs is to a get a thing done and move on ▫️ So I explained to Ken if we let the builder do the work he would never ever have to hear me complain again about the half rendered wall, we wouldn’t ever have to think about when and how we would finish that cornicing or replace that section that the cockatiel chewed off ▫️ I saw a light turn on in his eyes and the idea settle. The relief was palpable. Since getting those walls and ceilings finished we've both slept better. The moral of the story - sometimes self preservation draws a line in the dust and says enough! Just get it done and move on ! ▫️ #thenextrightthing Day 5/ MOVE ON #idhtbptbb #myeclecticmix #blueandgreen #mycozyfallhome #myeclecticmix #kitchendecor #hopewriters #hopewriterlife
