    Living in a renovation is really hard, and definitely exhausting. Keep thinking about how great it's all going to look and feel when its over!

    We've had our home for four years, and although I know we have done so much, it never truly feels done. Good on you for hiring professionals for the job that you wanted done, and not going "good enough." They're floors after all. You'll be on them for the whole time you have that home!

    • @averpaula

      That’s what I kind of love about owning a house, there is always a project that needs doing so we’ll never be bored 😅

    Unfortunately it always get worse before it gets better, stay strong, find something to take some of the stress away, just know your not alone we all feel this way when a renovation is being done in our home. I remember when I put an addition on my house it went across the whole back of the house and included the kitchen they didn't take down the wall between the two areas until it necessary which helped but it was chaos that lasted months, but the end results was well worth it. I worked in the construction business so I knew what to expect but it still it was hard, visualize the end result, keep looking at your vision boards and keep telling yourself it will get better.

    Hang in there kiddo. Moving is always challenging. It does get better and it will take time. A house is something that takes commitment and is ever evolving. Have fun with it. I’m cheering you both on! Thank you for sharing! Your friend Diane ❤

    I've been renovating for 6 months with the help of my lovely uncle and I completely feel your woes. I ripped EVERYTHING out, rewired, plumbed, floorboards, stairs - the lot. It's still not done and I'm so greatful to be able to do it but oml - I'm at my wits end. Luckily, I'm staying with my mum in the meantime so I can seperate myself from the chaos (a little, it's still always on my mind) but all I want is to be in there!!!!!
    that said, i asked for it, feel incredibly lucky to have support and cheap labour and love that I can make it mine from the ground up. You've got this, it looks like it'll turn out absolutely GORGE.

    • @averpaula
      @averpaula  6 дней назад +1

      I can’t even imagine the stress of ripping everything out, that is so amazing! I very much relate to everything you’re saying, i find it very reassuring to know that if other people have done this before, we’ll be able to do it too!

    We bought a house in september and let me just say, it's very calming seeing someone else have the same struggles with renovation 😆 Moving in while still being in the middle of reno is such a overwhelming thing. But it really makes a huge differencen when you reach the point where you can place the furniture right! But I might also have had to high hopes for the timeplan 😅

    • @averpaula
      @averpaula  3 дня назад

      It’s so good to know it’s not just you going through this isn’t it 😅 now that we’re 3 months in, i’m starting to enjoy the process a lot more and living in the mess has become kind of exciting because i never know what’s going to change the next week, it definitely teaches you to be adaptable to changing environments haha

    I can totally relate! I’m currently in the stage of my boyfriend moving in in my apartment. Even though it’s not as intense as your renovation plans, everything is chaotic and I can’t find my knitting needles or anything else :D hope that your renovation process is going to not take too long ❤

    • @averpaula
      @averpaula  6 дней назад

      The moving was honestly worse than the renovation so I totally relate! Not finding what you’re looking for amongst the chaos is so so frustrating 😭

    Hey, I hope things are feeling a bit better as you figure them out little by little. It's hard work but we can really see the difference! Well done for being badass and doing so many of these things by yourself! I bet it's all going to pay off! Thanks for sharing ✨

    Hang in there although this is why we have never taken on a big renovation. We are planning a move maybe next year so I am taking mental notes. Keep on going - it will be worth it.

      Dusk, it’s the Brooklyn 3 seater + we bought the otterman with it. We actually are getting rid of it now because it’s slightly too big for our living room but we really loved it!

      @@averpaula I was thinking that too with still a bit of walk in wardrobe at the start and en suite at the back of the room. I look forward to seeing what you do with it in the future!
