One winter afternoon, I stood in the hallway and realized I was sick of it. Not in a “burn it down” kind of way. More like when you stop liking something bit by bit. Like your old phone case, or a shirt that starts smelling weird no matter how often it's washed.
It was dim, and there was this weird patch where the paint peeled like old glue. Just a wall. But somehow it felt like it was part of the reason things felt wrong. Of what? No idea. Everything, maybe.
I didn't set out to renovate. I planned to repaint. Maybe change the bulb. Then I tugged the edge of the wallpaper, and underneath… well. Orange and brown. Looked like it was printed by someone on drugs. The kind of wallpaper that makes you frown.
And that's when things spiral. You pull one thread, and the house sighs like it was waiting.
Next thing I knew, I was learning things I'd never heard of. Architrave. I developed strong opinions for undercoat brands. I read reviews like it check here was a sport. Still don't know why one caulking gun's $12 and another's $48, but I'll fight you over which is better.
But this wasn't just about fixing things. It was about admitting something didn't fit, and that I was tired of tiptoeing. I used to avoid a creaky floorboard by the bathroom even after I fixed it. Muscle memory is a prank like that.
Some days went well. Some didn't. I once installed a power point upside down and didn't notice for ages. Only realized it when my sister flipped it and asked why “off” turned the light *on*.
But that's how it goes. You laugh, and then suddenly the space feels… yours. Not perfect. Not staged. But not borrowed anymore. That wall? Still narrow. And the paint line by the stairs? Wobbly. But it's something I chose.
It's not about trend boards. It's about saying no to living with what grates. If you drill in the wrong spot, just repaint it. That's what I do. Or at least that's what I tell guests.
