The signs that you are in a renovation project

Some signs that you are in a renovation project

Renovation is a very tedious job, but the advantage of overseeing the renovation project is that you are able to choose and plan for every detail of your house. Bear in mind that decision making is crucial in a way that there are many options to choose from. In most cases, for example, you will be faced with hundred different colors of paint or the style of the ceiling, position of electrical wiring and the likes.

There are times that you will be limited only to a few due to various reasons such as budget constraints, available resources and manpower. Sometimes you are planning to use blinds in your room, but ending up using the curtains instead. In addition to these, there will also be advises from other people regarding the style or design you are planning and then ending up having a design which is completely different from your original plan. You might experience frustration and fatigue to the point that you regret doing the renovation project. Hopefully it doesn’t lead to that.

Here are some signs that you are in the middle of a renovation project:

You dream about the renovation project

Scientists say that sleep is important to all human beings since this will restore and rejuvenate the body. Sometimes we say “sweet dreams” so that we will be able to achieve the goal of sleeping. Instead, you dream about your renovation project. This is one of the signs that you are really into something. You dream about the design, plans and the budget are the content of your dreams instead of you having happy dreams. You dream about certain parts which are already finished whether you had the right decision to have it changed or could it have been better if you did not change it at all.

Inability to decide in all aspects of the renovation project

There will be a point during the renovation project that you cannot decide on what to wear without thinking about the project. Even the breakfast that you want will also be a challenge to you. Try to wear something first before you go to the drawing board. In that way you will eliminate one decision process and focus on the more important ones. More importantly, you now find it difficult to decide what to do in your project and that you end up with the design you don’t really like because you think this would be on neutral grounds if that would be the choice.

Changing of the renovation project plans

Let us see for an instance that you wanted to have a modern kitchen design. But when you look into the design, you noticed that it is more tedious because of the additional appliances and furniture you need to purchase to make the kitchen modern. That is when you decided to change the plan and look for a design that will fit with the resources you have. In order to prevent this from happening, plan and coordinate well before doing the project. In that way you would be saving energy in changing the design.

So many colors to choose from

It’s only natural that you spend some time in choosing the right color for your renovation project. Also it is normal that you have samples purchased. However, you tend to spend too much in purchasing paint cans so that you can see if it fits the design of your house. Imagine the amount of money you spent in buying those cans, you could have saved them and bought your kids some toys! You just end up using plain white because of confusion and frustration. There are other ways in order for you to have sample paint colors. You may ask the store to give you some print outs on their available paint colors and try to visualize the colors if they would be suitable to what you want.

No more social life during the renovation project

Usually before you started the renovation project, you meet regularly with your friends for dinner or movies. Now that you are in the middle of the renovation project, you lack the energy and time to go out with them. You’d rather spend more time focusing on the renovation project. Same thing goes with your friends who might get tired of inviting you since you keep on rejecting them and stating your alibis. Even if you go out with them, the only topics that interest you are the kind of paint color you need, or the switches you will be using or the type of flooring you will purchase. You used to be fun to hang around with but because of your exhaustion, you transform into a boring person.
