However, there was a compelling reason. And it wasn’t because I was lazy! True to my interior design profession and my need to love my house, my husband and I just completed the remodel of the master bathroom. And it is gorgeous if I do say so myself! My house is a daylight rambler and the master bath is in the rambler part of the house meaning it has no daylight! It is an ample space and has the bathroom, furnace, laundry room, and lots of storage. It also has lots of mirrors, glass block, glass vanity counters and sinks, and sparkly lights so I have been able to hide the utiltarian and accentuate the design! It is so nice to have my own vanity, sink, mirror and storage! We have our own space and yet share our space. Curious? I will be posting photos in a few days! http://ihatemyhouse.wordpress.com/2009/09/16/well-i-have-neglected-my-blog-something-i-promised-not-to-do-however-there-was-a-compelling-reason-and-it-wasnt-because-i-was-lazy-true-to-my-interior-design-profession-and-my-need-to-love/ http://ihatemyhouse.wordpress.com/2009/09/16/well-i-have-neglected-my-blog-something-i-promised-not-to-do-however-there-was-a-compelling-reason-and-it-wasnt-because-i-was-lazy-true-to-my-interior-design-profession-and-my-need-to-love/#comments Thu, 17 Sep 2009 03:27:24 +0000 ihatemyhouse http://ihatemyhouse.wordpress.com/?p=29 ]]> ]]> http://ihatemyhouse.wordpress.com/2009/09/16/well-i-have-neglected-my-blog-something-i-promised-not-to-do-however-there-was-a-compelling-reason-and-it-wasnt-because-i-was-lazy-true-to-my-interior-design-profession-and-my-need-to-love/feed/ 0 ihatemyhouse Sometimes when you open your door you are amazed at how dated everything looks – sort of like your hairstyle which hasn’t changed for 20 years because it is comfortable!! And who likes to always reinvent themselves? Well, your home could use some reinventing if you have not moved a picture from its original spot or rearranged the furniture to make better use of the space or repainted the walls a more fashionable color. No wonder you hate your house! So start thinking what you can do to make some changes. Maybe just rearranging the furniture would make a difference. Switch out the pictures on the wall. Paint one wall a striking color you love – if you don’t like it it is easy to repaint. Afterall, paint is the cheapest interior decorating tool out there – paint and your time. You don’t really want to hate your house, do you? http://ihatemyhouse.wordpress.com/2009/09/02/sometimes-when-you-open-your-door-you-are-amazed-at-how-dated-everything-looks-sort-of-like-your-hairstyle-which-hasnt-changed-for-20-years-because-it-is-comfortable-and-who-likes-to-always-rein/ http://ihatemyhouse.wordpress.com/2009/09/02/sometimes-when-you-open-your-door-you-are-amazed-at-how-dated-everything-looks-sort-of-like-your-hairstyle-which-hasnt-changed-for-20-years-because-it-is-comfortable-and-who-likes-to-always-rein/#comments Wed, 02 Sep 2009 17:30:59 +0000 ihatemyhouse http://ihatemyhouse.wordpress.com/?p=18 ]]> ]]> http://ihatemyhouse.wordpress.com/2009/09/02/sometimes-when-you-open-your-door-you-are-amazed-at-how-dated-everything-looks-sort-of-like-your-hairstyle-which-hasnt-changed-for-20-years-because-it-is-comfortable-and-who-likes-to-always-rein/feed/ 0 ihatemyhouse Day 2 of my blog – what to say? Often I ask my clients to go to their front door, unlock it, close their eyes and pretend they are looking at their home for the very first time. Your reaction is a good place to start to stop hating your home and start working towards loving it! So, what did you see that you like? Dislike? Hate? Need to change? Want to keep? More tomorrow. http://ihatemyhouse.wordpress.com/2009/09/01/day-2-of-my-blog-what-to-say-often-i-ask-my-clients-to-go-to-their-front-door-unlock-it-close-their-eyes-and-pretend-they-are-looking-at-their-home-for-the-very-first-time-your-reaction-is-a-g/ http://ihatemyhouse.wordpress.com/2009/09/01/day-2-of-my-blog-what-to-say-often-i-ask-my-clients-to-go-to-their-front-door-unlock-it-close-their-eyes-and-pretend-they-are-looking-at-their-home-for-the-very-first-time-your-reaction-is-a-g/#comments Tue, 01 Sep 2009 18:56:30 +0000 ihatemyhouse http://ihatemyhouse.wordpress.com/?p=15 ]]> ]]> http://ihatemyhouse.wordpress.com/2009/09/01/day-2-of-my-blog-what-to-say-often-i-ask-my-clients-to-go-to-their-front-door-unlock-it-close-their-eyes-and-pretend-they-are-looking-at-their-home-for-the-very-first-time-your-reaction-is-a-g/feed/ 0 ihatemyhouse It is about time for me to get something written on this, my first blog! I have always wondered why people hate their houses. As an interior designer, I wanted to help people LOVE their houses. So expect to see postings that I hope will be useful to help you make your house a home, someplace that you love to come home to. And if you love your home? Well, maybe I can help you love it more. And for those of you wanting to downsize or move into retirement communities, there is much that I can do to help you make the transition. So, welcome to I hate my house! One day you will change your mind. I promise! http://ihatemyhouse.wordpress.com/2009/08/31/it-is-about-time-for-me-to-get-something-written-on-this-my-first-blog-i-have-always-wondered-why-people-hate-their-houses-as-an-interior-designer-i-wanted-to-help-people-love-their-houses-so/ http://ihatemyhouse.wordpress.com/2009/08/31/it-is-about-time-for-me-to-get-something-written-on-this-my-first-blog-i-have-always-wondered-why-people-hate-their-houses-as-an-interior-designer-i-wanted-to-help-people-love-their-houses-so/#comments Tue, 01 Sep 2009 03:40:12 +0000 ihatemyhouse http://ihatemyhouse.wordpress.com/?p=7 ]]> ]]> http://ihatemyhouse.wordpress.com/2009/08/31/it-is-about-time-for-me-to-get-something-written-on-this-my-first-blog-i-have-always-wondered-why-people-hate-their-houses-as-an-interior-designer-i-wanted-to-help-people-love-their-houses-so/feed/ 0 ihatemyhouse Hello world! http://ihatemyhouse.wordpress.com/2009/08/13/hello-world/ http://ihatemyhouse.wordpress.com/2009/08/13/hello-world/#comments Thu, 13 Aug 2009 03:30:00 +0000 ihatemyhouse ]]> Welcome to WordPress.com.
