A thriller / rom-com where tensions run high, budgets are “estimated”… and somehow a ‘I’ll just chuck that in the spare room’ turned into a full makeover.
plot twist: the main character (me) gently convinces (gaslights 😅) her husband into thinking it was his idea all along
“remember you said this space just needed a lick of paint and some new art to bring it to life?”
behind the scenes: one morning coffee staring at a blank room and suddenly that Pinterest board turns into moving furniture, new bedding, trip to Bunnings, hunting for new frames and finding the perfect botanical wall art to actually make it feel finished
because the truth is…. Once I get fixated on an idea from Pinterest it’s got to be done, even if my husband doesn’t see the vision ✨
so now I need to know…
what’s the DIY project that escalated in your house?
like… where did it start vs where did it end? 😂
