House renovation nearing it's end. Wood burning stove in. Cast Iron range in. Oak flooring in. Bathroom/ensuite tiled. Kitchen being fitted. Bathrooms ready to go in. Soon we can move in and leave behind the static caravan...(thank heavens).
And now I am suddenly sick with nerves. I love how it is going to look - we have gone pared down classic - white paint throughout, smoked oak floors, shaker kitchen with granite tops, black and white tiles in the bathroom. Very monochrome. We will be adding colour with the finishing touches - the vases, fruit bowls, roman blinds, cushions, bookshelves.. Because this is what we like. And because I am rubbish at colour and so scared of getting it wrong I would rather go "safe".
But the nearly finished house is soon going to being nosed around by various friends and family. And this will probably be before those finishing touches will be in place. So suddenly I feel really scared and nervous about what other people think.
I know for a fact my sister will hate it (she is good with and loves colour - I am rubbish with it and I don't actually like houses (or living in houses) with colour on the walls - makes my head feel messy). Other people are surely going to have opinions. It is very simple. Or very boring. Oh help. How have/do you cope with the people coming to have a nosy around? And I know, I know it doesn't really matter what they think - it is our house. But I will care.
Help. I want to feel excited about moving in. Not feel sick.
