So my doing these on time is going about as I expected but only a day late, this one!
usuallyhats and I own our flat together. It took us a good 2 years after buying it to start thinking about redecorating, due to an understandable mix of pandemic, life, mild burnout, and the whole thing with my mum dying. But we are now in very slow process and having a great time! She's fully redecorated her room, it looks so great that it inspired me to start on mine! Mine is going even more slowly but I've repainted and replaced most of the furniture. Still one piece to build, then fully unpacking and finishing off the declutter. After that I've got ideas for more decorating but I sort of forget how close I am to finishing! I'm thinking mostly fannish stuff on the walls, honestly, plus better displaying some of my knickknacks.
After that, we really want to tackle the living room and also put up some more pictures. We've got plans for the whole flat, including re-doing the bathroom, which I'm very excited about. All I want is a bigger bath. Dunno whether our tiny bathroom can accommodate that but we'll find out together.
Partly because of who we are as people, partly because the demands of capitalism raise the bar on being good house spouses and holding down a full time job too high, it's sort of cheerfully messy, more so because of the redecorating in progress.
It's nice and cosy tho and we like it.
My favourite hygge things about it are big duvets, our own Critical Role minkie each, my yellow IKEA chair and footstool, and hot water bottles in bed.
I guess these could be longer but I think this is all I have to say on this topic. Plus it's not so cosy in this flat right now, I can't really feel my fingers.
