What makes you proud/embarrassed of in your home?

Nothing. It’s my home. It’s shit because it hasn’t been adapted yet for my disabled daughter’s needs and I hate it.
But like the house I had to sell, which I adored and mostly had as I wanted it.. it’s not Instagram. It’s life. It’s just a bloody place to sleep and eat and so on

We’ve just moved into our house and I love coming home and seeing our front door! It’s arched and painted blue with a central knob. People always comment on it and call it the hobbit house.

I'm not very good at doing housework, so I'm usually embarrassed/frustrated that it's a mess. It's also very dated and 70s as we can't afford to improve it yet.

I'm proud of the bit of my garden that's finished - which is completely out of character for me!!
Especially my wildlife pond. It looks so quiet and peaceful, but look closer and it's teeming with life. I often just sit and look at it with a coffee, it's wonderful.

I’m not proud or embarrassed of anything. I like it better when it’s clean and tidy.

We've just finished a major build and I'm proud of my kitchen diner. The view is amazing (and you'd never believe it's London.

I'm embarrassed about the family bathroom and downstairs loo. We didn't have the budget to improve them and they feel dated and grubby next to the new stuff.

My garden. Not because it's particularly spectacular to look at, but because it's a relaxed space and people seem happy there. Indoor social things at my house never seem to go as well and I don't know why.

I’m proud of the decor in the downstairs loo - I painted it myself and fitted the lino. I’m usually rubbish at DIY but it turned out good!

I’m ashamed at the amount of dust behind the bed, but I can’t be arsed to move it.

Very proud of my new kitchen. New floor and wall tiles.
The rest is ok, got some nice art on the walls and it’s a big place but parts are looking dated.

I'm embarrassed about the lack of off-street parking, our house is situated away from the road so there's absolutely no way of getting off street parking either. I was naive when I bought it was a first time buyer , I didn't think parking would be as vital as it is. I'm embarrassed when I have deliveries or tradespeople come to the house, because I see their face when they have to park their van up the road and carry stuff up the path.
I don't invite friends over as much as I did in my old house, because I know there's no where near for them to park. I feel embarrassed telling them to park on the next street if they can't find space on my street.

I'm embarrassed about the date 1970s kitchen, but I haven't got funds to replace it yet. Replaced the cooker and the hob but the units will have to wait.

I'm proud of the decor in the living room, the one room that I decorated exactly to my taste. Even down to the light fittings. I did it all myself (apart from a plasterer who replastered the ceiling).

I feel proud of our house when people who come round seem relaxed and comfortable. Love it when people are having fun here. Visitors tend to look at the view out of the front and say how nice it is, I'm pretty proud of that and I'm proud of my local town. Also I'm proud of some of my plants and I love it when people compliment my plants.

I only feel embarrassed really when certain older relatives come and I feel they are judging the crappy ancient kitchen (that's functional and we are saving up to replace). Also a certain relative who had an extremely clean/ sterile house, I feel she's judging mess and things like dog hair.

I'm trying to not give a shit about judgemental visitors, it's going well.

Such visitors as we've had mostly resort to telling us how much potential is has. Meaning, it's a mess, the decor is dire, there are boxes everywhere even after 2 years, but they want to be nice about it. All the work so far has been on invisible stuff, like wiring, and other things which make it look worse before it looks better, so it looks worse now even than when we bought the thing, except my workroom, which visitors don't normally see.

Love the location and size of our flat, and the fireplace. I hate everything else. We're putting it on the market next week

People who knock for any reason will often say "what a beautiful house!" It is really lovely externally. But inside is usually a complete tip because I'm the most untidy and chaotic person on earth and just can't seem to keep on top of it.

I'm proud of my garden, but that's because it's something my late DH and I did that changed it radically, so part of an effort.

We’ve spent the past 10 years doing up the downstairs and garden and I love it. Everything was chosen by me, but I’m messy and have a hard time keeping it tidy.
