Fed up with the Instagram showing perfect homes, when the real world is much messier..: so show me your normal homes… here’s my messy (and a bit dated) kitchen

That's lovely

Mumof2NDers · 22/12/2023 15:53

My view. Need to put the big mirror back over the fireplace. Took it down when we redecorated. That was 4 years ago. I’ve been busy 😂

If you've been scrolling for the photo to make yourself feel better about your mess, here it is.
Some slightly longer than usual shifts at work and a horrid cold as excuses but actually im just a tramp... I feel no shame.

Subscribe to one of the AI programs and you can have your dream home. Here is one that is empty and then filled with furniture. I have not subscribed yet, as I am not 100% sure I will be using it, so it still has the watermarks on it. When you subscribe you can get all the existing furniture taken out so it leaves it as a blank room, and then it fills in with the AI furniture. I love it!

Few pics
Moved in 2007 and haven't changed the kitchen since!

I am nap trapped so can't get a kitchen photo, it is however very dated, usually cluttered but we do try keep it clean. The living and every other room is in a permanent state of kid's mess. My children actively seek disorder 😅

Every single home posted here looks lovely 🥰

We had some work done a while back, so have a home.fitted second hand kitchen and very old red carpets. One day we will have the money to pull it together!

Love the island!! We have been gradually doing up our house… so it’s a bit of a mix too. Some 90s carpets in the spare bedroom and dining room. But heyho. Well get to it some day

@IfWhenWhyWhat

by posting this picture, you have revealed to the whole internet that you have been to Florence, and probably enjoyed it! ( 🙀).

Im too knackered to post a picture of my kitchen, as I have been helping my neighbour with her garden and I am now upstairs. So here is a picture of what I can see from my prostrate position on my bed

Busted!!!

I particularly like the tins of Xmas chocolates hidden on top of the cupboards!

Husband put them up there… out of my reach. I am a compulsive eater. And I can reach them up there 😂

I wonder if the people whose anxiety outweighs their ability to risk assess the danger of putting a pic of their kitchen on the internet are the same famous MN posters who daren't open their front door if someone knocks.

I bet a Venn diagram of the two groups would pretty much be a single circle.

😂 a single circle. Yes I think it would be! OP did suggest people name change for this thread.

Okeydokedeva · 22/12/2023 16:09

Messy but cosy! View from bed. I love old wood furniture and vintage details

Zonder · 22/12/2023 16:10

I love this thread. All your houses look great.

So far every house is WAY tidier than mine! 😂 I spend a lot of time and effort tidying up but it's like pissing into the wind.

Of course I suggested a name change! My friends would recognise my house. It’s not like there are lots of other kitchens which look the same. I don’t want them then linking my username with my posts about having a boil on my bum and not liking my neighbours parking in front of my drive.

I'm lucky to have a big kitchen, but it is definitely lived in!

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 22/12/2023 16:13

I think we have the same kitchen tiles as you! Kitchen put in 1995 not long after we married. We are planning a bit of an upgrade next year.

My house is quite tidy as DH has a 'thing' about clutter and anything left on worktops gets shoved into random drawers . It's a very ordinary house though - 3 bed ex-council semi.

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 22/12/2023 16:15

We have wood chip wallpaper on most of our walls but it doesn't bother me - just paint over it when the room needs brightening.

God my house is messier than all of these 😆

Ditto! Only the people with rather nice or tidy kitchen are likely to post 😂

ForeverDelayedEpiphany · 22/12/2023 16:20

We have recently decorated the kitchen after about 8 years of meaning to do it. I have to say that I think my DH chose the colours and decorated it very well.

I'd literally be lying if I said that mu house was this tidy or clutter free all the time... three kids and mostly my junk means it is always a bit untidy, much to my DH's chagrin 🤣😳🤣

I'd love to live in a show home type of house but it's not possible with a family - maybe in 15 years or so.

diddl · 22/12/2023 16:20

I like the colour of the units in your first post Op.

That's also about the size of my kitchen!
