Have You Ever Redecorated Your Home Or Done A Remodel And Then Really Regretted It?

There is no worse impression than finally redecorating a room in your home , only to really hate it within a few calendar week .

If you’re like me, then you probably have a Pinterest board, mood board, or mental list of things you want to do to your home. It also likely ranges from little things like buying a new bed frame to bigger things like remodeling your bathroom.

While we might have a list of things we want to do, we sometimes don’t pull the trigger because of the commitment and the fear of possibly making a decision we’d regret. Which makes me wonder: Have you ever redecorated or done a remodel only to regret it afterwards?

Perhaps you remodeled your kitchen and decided to go with open shelving, and now not only do you have to keep your plates and glasses extremely organized, but you also constantly have to dust them before using them.

Or, maybe back in 2013, you installed a barn door leading into your primary bathroom, which provides no barrier against noises and looks dated AF.

Or, perhaps you painted the living room in your rental millennial pink when it was all the rage, and now all you can think is that you’re living in a Pepto-Bismol bottle.

Or, just maybe it wasn’t you, but a friend you advised against installing an expensive Edison lightbulb fixture in their dining room, and now every time you visit, you feel like you’re walking into a gastropub circa 2010.

Maybe you bought one of those down sofas that everyone on social media has in their homes but realized it was a terrible choice because all you do is spend your time fluffing it up.#
