The stressful stage in your homely life when ‘the man with a van’ knocks on your door.. You realize it is time to repaint the walls around you and gain a chance to do a deep clean in your house.. The smell of paint will not leave your house for at least a full week.. Redecorating your living room will make you feel like a guest in your own house.. The positive side will be the feeling of conquering all the walls in your house with the white paint and seeing the cleanness…It is like a marathon.. You need to have a pace..

What is more stressful is doing the renovation in the summer.. Transforming your summer from a holiday to a full-time painting job.. After a hard days’ work you cannot even eat at home as your kitchen is covered up for painting.. I guess going out for dinner on those nights should be seen as a plus side however, tiredness always kicks in..

Anyway, in the end when the furniture is put back to their new places and the carpet is finally rolled back out it is nice to see the change.. It is nice to see that not only our lives can take a turn but also the walls around us can age with our presence…
