When you’ve been studying my weblog for lengthy in any respect, you realize that I’m by no means afraid of redoing a venture that I’ve completed (or nearly completed) if I resolve it didn’t fairly end up how I had envisioned it in my thoughts. It doesn’t matter if I’m midway by, 90% of the way in which by, or if it’s been accomplished for a 12 months. If I’m not fully pleased with it, I’ve no downside redoing it so long as my funds permits.
I did my total kitchen transform…
And after dwelling with it for about three years, I made a decision that the colour and a few of the particulars (just like the corbels) simply weren’t fairly proper, so I made some modifications.
I do know if I polled my very long time readers, the do-over that the majority of you miss essentially the most could be the birds and branches mural on the entryway wall (a minimum of, that the venture that will get essentially the most mentions in feedback).
I actually did love the path of that entryway, and that mural was a really enjoyable venture to do. However ultimately, I’m glad I redid it.
My present entryway is far more “me” than any of the opposite iterations. (Sure, I do know it’s too busy for some, nevertheless it’s mine. And I adore it. 😊 However it’s getting a small replace, which I nearly completed yesterday, however will want only a couple extra hours to complete up right now.)
And I simply must shake my head and giggle after I look again on the first model of my lounge. I nonetheless can’t determine who the heck I used to be adorning for, nevertheless it doesn’t appear to be I used to be adorning this room for myself.
My present lounge is sort of a breath of recent air (a minimum of for me) in comparison with that first one, and in comparison with the entire interim iterations.
If I had been to checklist and present photos of the whole lot I’ve accomplished after which redone in my home, this is able to most likely find yourself being the longest weblog submit I’ve ever written. However the backside line is that I don’t remorse any of these do-overs…
Except for one.
There may be one venture that I labored exhausting on, completed, and completely liked. After which I satisfied myself that it wanted to be ripped out and redone. Are you able to guess which venture I’m speaking about?
It’s the horse partitions and columns that I constructed to separate the music room from the entryway/lounge space.
Do you keep in mind these pony partitions and columns? I used to be so pleased with how these turned out.
And what makes it a lot worse is that I ended up ripping out these pony partitions and columns as a result of I made a decision so as to add image body molding to the entryway and lounge partitions, and for some cause which I can’t keep in mind now, I couldn’t get the trim to play properly with the horse partitions. And I used to be decided to have that trim on the lounge partitions, so the horse partitions needed to go.
The unhappy factor is that the image body molding ended up wanting WAY too busy in a room with so many doorways and home windows (that wall element is at all times higher in rooms which have extra uninterrupted wall house), so I ended up ripping out the image body molding within the entryway and lounge. In the long run, I ended up ripping out these pony partitions and columns for no good cause in any respect.
I take into consideration that always, and it’s the one do-over that I truly do remorse. I want I may have seen the horse partitions and columns in a completed room, however I ripped them out and redid them lengthy earlier than any of those rooms had been ever fully completed. I’d like to see how they appear with the present completed room, however all I can do is think about. Truthfully, I believe they’d look stunning within the present rooms.
It’s not that I don’t like what I at present have. I do prefer it.
The frustration is that I liked what I initially constructed, and your entire cause for ripping it out and altering it ended up being one thing that I didn’t like ultimately. So in spite of everything was stated and accomplished, this alteration was fully pointless. At this time, if I had the chance to decide on one or the opposite and have my favourite of the 2 with out having to spend any time or cash to have it, I’d select the horse partitions and columns.
It’s at all times irritating to have a remorse, particularly one which prices money and time. However with the entire issues I’ve redone on this home, I believe having just one remorse is a fairly good common. 😀
