Both are painful but you come out so much better on the other side. <br /><br />On the choices: Just pull the trigger. Hemming and hawing will only prolong the process.

You have reminded me that I have never posted a before and after picture!! <br /><br />I loved watching trading spaces and remember that episode with the hay.....seriously?!!! Who thought that was a good idea?! Remodel is never easy and in the middle of it all you question your sanity, but the end result is so great!!!! and worth it all!sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16558961544260341038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-89046047327176508742016-08-10T10:53:26.673-04:002016-08-10T10:53:26.673-04:00Ahh I wanted to be on Trading Spaces Kids version ...Ahh I wanted to be on Trading Spaces Kids version SO BAD.

Yeah, get ready to be BFF with your crockpot & just buy a stack of paper plates - you'll thank yourself when you don't have to wash dishes in the bathroom sink or tub!<br /><br />I pretty much just want to pick a Pinterest picture - hand it to someone & then walk out until it's done.

JUST KIDDING! That was one of the worst ideas ever ... unless you have a horse living inside the house with you, then you'd have to keep slopping more glue and hay on the walls. <br /><br />I'd totally pick the renovation - but I can't even pick out paint colors to save my life. All the details involved ... even drawer pulls options give me a panic attack. I'm with you though - bring in someone else and let them make all the decisions!

I'm wanting one in the worst way. I wander through Lowe's with lust in my heart. IKEA makes my blood pump faster and decorating magazines call like the Siren's song. My head is so full of ideas, that like you...I'm not sure I could decide which one I want to live with forever.<br /><br />I miss trading spaces, too. My daughter and I used to make a big bowl of pop corn and prop ourselves up in my bed to watch it every week while the boys watched their icky boy stuff in the living room. I miss the show and those times with my girl. Love the picture you chose, I think that was my absolute favorite epic fail. Hay on the walls....it was truly gruesome.
