We’re renovating an older ranch house so all our decorating started 4 years ago, and continues to be ongoing. I’m still shopping for things for the kitchen (window treatments, kettle, canisters etc) and the living room, (wall decor, frames, coasters etc) to find other elusive items for bedroom and den.

I have friends whose decorating has been completed for years now, other friends who have continuously evolving decorating styles so that they’re always changing things up.

Which are you?

I never have finished ever....
by the time i get the whole place in a certain style trends change or maybe the person wants a change.
 
My ex wife did all the decorating so I barely did and wanted to do any of that. I still don't so where I live I barely have anything hanging on the wall.
 

I enjoy changing stuff in the kitchen. One year it was decorated in roosters and another year with pears. I know, I'm nuts. lol Right now I am waiting for hubby to take down my bunnies, etc. from a kitchen cabinet. I am constantly changing the kitchen decor since I spend alot of time cooking and the cleanup. And I enjoy baking too.

yes it's pretty much an ongoing thing here, or it least it's always been in the past. ..

In the last 12 months I've had a whole new bathroom, with new electric shower, and new vanity, and bath . I've had a completely repainted office room. with all new furniture .. and in my o/h's office room all new furniture including a new desk, and furniture and drapes but no painting, because the walls and ceiling didn't need it so I just added some new plants and wall art.. to brighten things up in there and some new white bedding and cushions

The second bathroom was tiled out completely less than 4 years ago with new flooring...so that's going to see me out

Downstairs livingroom needs it, I'm always changing the decorations, and the cushion covers.. ..but it's been well over 10 years since it was painted... and although it's still very clean it's stating to look tired and needs brightening up...

I had a new kitchen about 4 years ago.. so nothing much needs doing there...,

I would like my main bedroom to be repainted, and the stairs , landing , foyer, and hall walls, but as o/h is no longer here, and I'm pretty much past doing stuff like that with high ceilings etc by myself .. I'll eventually have to call a decorator in..

Have I missed something @hollydolly?? I feel awkward about asking but I had no idea your o/h wasn’t around!!
 
Over the past few years, I've had the entire interior re-painted, re-carpeted, all new kitchen appliances except the dishwasher (which is broken now), deck refinished twice, new dining table/chairs, chandelier, bathroom lighting updated.

I could use another re-paint soon. And a dishwasher!

Sometimes I wish I had a studio apartment in a converted school like @katlupe.
 
Oh that's another thing I want... a new stair carpet.. I've had this one about 10 years or so... it's unmarked but it's a very light colour and it's hard to keep it looking really clean , despite using carpet cleaner on it... but the price of carpeting not to mention carpet fitting has sky rocketed this last little while.. so I might have to hang on for a little while yet..
 
I've been in my house for over seven years now and I'm still trying to figure out what to hang on the walls.

@hollydolly I'm sorry for what you're going through. If there were magical words that could take away your sadness, I would say them in a heartbeat.

bless you Leann , I wish there was too... night night all.. it's late I must go to bed before I meet myself getting up again.. 🥰
 
Michelle basically redecorated when she moved into my apartment, but not too, too much. She was living with her sister and only brought a couple of big things with her; mostly small, sentimental things. I still had to do lots of rearranging, plus gave away 2 vintage salon chairs and the park bench I used as a second couch.

The biggest change: the dining room was my sewing / reading room, and now it's a real dining room. Lends the place a warm family atmosphere. (I still have a sewing area, tho)

A few years ago the LR carpets were replaced with hard flooring. Also did the same for the stairs to the basement. They’re so much easier to clean than with carpet. I would like that everywhere and only have carpet for warmth in the finished basement area. We’ve ordered new seating for the LR.

Rather than changing things on the walls, I’d like to get rid of extra art. Also trying to clear out drawers.

I am always changing something or trying something new. I ordered a new wing back chair that I am replacing my rocking chair with. More comfortable. Now I actually have visitors so need something they can sit on.
