Yes, when ever I see something that I like and I need, I get it. I didn’t sit down and plan it all out, but I always have a sense in my head of how it should look.
About four years ago, we did a complete house make over. I gave away nearly everything I owned, and have gradually been replacing it, piece by piece. I had the entire house repainted, and it was really fun choosing the custom colors for the walls and trims. I made curtains to go with each room.
We had the kitchen and the bathrooms entirely re done. Things you never even think of kept coming up, like what kind of new door handles, and should they match the hinges, and what about the bedroom light fixtures. I got to choose all new switch plate covers. I love bargains, so when I saw some on the sale rack at the home improvement store, it was like finding treasure. I got some decorator tiles for the bathroom the same way.
I could write a lot more about the ways I customized the house. It was great fun.
