I'm a work in progress. I've changed, grown in may ways over the years. I always had a nice home and always tried to make it attractive. However, now I am really into home decor. I've become more artistic, I actually have plan for what the look I want and it's fun to search for the items that make a reality.
@chrystaltree Me, as well. However, much of the change was result of getting older and having the means to buy better quality stuff. First home was furnished with one of those whole house type specials years ago - - "4 rooms of furniture for $800". Served its purpose till I could afford better.
Second home was furnished with a mishmash of my stuff and dad's when he could no longer live alone. He insisted on bringing stuff of his that should have been tossed years ago, I wanted him to feel that this was his home as well.
After he died, I recently had a home built in an over 55 community and only came here with my bedroom set. Former neighbor was an interior designer for decades but these days does it more as a hobby. I paid her to help me with wall colors. What an extremely interesting process. Gave me samples of things that would work and I chose the one where I'd be going BOLD.
I was terrified and after I had the walls painted, she gave suggestions of color accents I should be bringing into the home and I'm having a blast out on my own buying those.
