Live in own place? do you have it decorated

Do you live in your own home or rented?

But have to have it decorated to your requirements as it makes you feel stressed if it not? 

Mine in all pink 

what style do you have to have it in for you?

  • I live in my mums house. I guess it is mine now but it'll always be mum's to me - it could do with redecorating, the walls needs new paint and the carpets need redoing. But I don't really want to change it.

    Mum was really into art so a lot of the rooms have paintings in them, some I think were really expensive, my mum knew all painting's and art. I don't sadly.

    Maybe I'll look at doing some redecorating this year, during the summer ^^

  • That’s really beautiful that it will always be your mum’s house to you. I understand wanting to keep the house decorated as she’d remember it. Nothing wrong with a bit of slowly fading grandeur anyway. I think it can be quite special. Though there’s also the question of general upkeep that your mum may have wanted you to invest in it too? Perhaps one room per year, or when able, and leave one or two little discrete time capsules of happiest times entirely untouched for all time.
