We've lived in our current house for 19 years. We raised our family here and now it's time for us to spend some money on ourselves.That is very similar to our move. Went from about 1300 to 4500 sq feet, got rid of a bunch of our stuff and slowly getting new stuff. We'd been holding off in the old house (we had said we'd be there less then five years, ended up being nearly 15) but now with our new house we want everything to be nicer. One hard part so far has been the walls! We had a bunch of just framed pictures up at the old house but that just doesn't work at the new house. I've been looking for some art pieces to put up but haven't found anything I like large enough that it would work.
The entire interior of the new house was professionally painted a year or two ago with colors I like, so I don't plan on changing any of the colors, but our living room furniture is earth tones and the new house is cool tones of blues and gray, so darn, we need to buy all new living room furniture.
I am sure it will take me a while to get the house the way I want it, but I am conscious my DH has to live there, too, so my "whatever I want" is going to be limited to the den. DH doesn't care how the house is decorated, but he does have opinions on some things. lol
