Home Renovations

 There are different kinds of home remodelling and renovations;

Kitchen, bathroom, whole house, room additions, windows / door replacement, repairing property damage, ceilings, bathroom additions, woodwork redone, updating light fixtures and so on.

We are in the process of renovating our whole house which implies step by step remodelling of each bathroom and room along with the windows, light fixtures, almirahs  ... basically the works 


Renovations also have different categories, minor, major and cosmetic. In the event of the entire house getting renovated which is surely major remodelling, I have witnessed the family shifting out to another apartment for a period of a year or so in order to be free from the dust, smell and day to day hassles of the same.

And there are some brave families and we are surely one of them, because we decided to get some major changes done while being in the same house. Which essentially meant shifting furniture, clothes, bed, infact every possible thing within the house from one room to another. No wonder, I call myself brave.



It's definitely not easy, but when ready it sure is going to be worth it.





No matter the kind of renovations, they all involve a lot of coordination work. 




Let's go thru the renovation checklist : 

1) THEME :Is there one ? What is it going to be ? 

2) SET A BUDGET  : There is endless variety since the market is flooded with quality par excellence. It's best to set a budget before starting out


3) RESEARCH : those designs, fixtures, wall textures, paint and create mood boards on Pinterest.


4) FIGURE OUT A REALISTIC TIME FRAME : Home make overs definitely involve endless hard work, chaos and long hours. Figure out a time frame but do remember that it will most certainly take much longer than expected.

5)  DONT FORGET TO CONSIDER THOSE WORK PERMITS : they are unquestionably required and in order to avoid last minute chaos, do figure them out.


Here's wishing you and me all the very best for a fabulous make over of our homes for us and our loved ones.

In DEEP GRATITUDE

Image
 The woman that walked in felt chained down, afraid , fearful, confused, super exhausted, unhappy, heavy, worn and depleted of any life force. Anyway out of it, seemed impossible to achieve  But all thanks to her great good fortune, in walked in another woman who with her humility, knowledge, expertise, sincerity, genuine concern, objectivity, understanding, completely non judgmental attitude and a very  structured approach, held her hand and helped her to move forward. The woman walking out is actually feeling ok with all the experiences and challenges that she had to face, is ready to learn from them and move forward. She is also feeling unchained, free and open to be herself and excited at her second innings. While words are truly not enough to express her gratitude, that's all she has at the moment with a promise that she will make herself and you proud in times to come ... " I want to say thank you to the rare few individuals in my life who have listened without judg...

Introverts vs Extroverts

Image
We all have different personality types which are not limited or restricted to being an introvert or an extrovert. But just to make it simple to understand, let's broadly curb it to down to these two personalities. While growing up also, I would be mostly happy being myself. Introverts are definately not anti-social. I feel they are just not social enough and they are happy that way.  Knowing myself very well, let me try and burst a few myths about introverts.  1) They are unfriendly and like I said earlier anti social. I can certainly vouch for the fact that they are neither. They prefer time alone but that does not make them unfriendly at all. 2) It's difficult to get to know them. That is truly not the case, but introverts prefer not to open themselves with all who prefer to small talk. They have meaningful deeper friendships and connections with a handful of people who know them quite well. 3) When one thinks of a leader , who would you imagine ? That's right ..an extro...

Disrespect

Image
 I am sure everyone is aware of what disrespect means but just to break it down; disrespect is  1) to treat without respect 2) show or express contempt or rudeness 3) low regard for someone or something. 4) to disrespect someone is to act in an insulting way towards them. 5) It is actually the exact opposite of respect by acting rude, impolite or offensive. I am sure all of us have witnessed it somewhere / sometime.Being disrespected is definately not a part of healthy relationships. Let me give you an example of disrespect  in a form of put down. Radha and Ashok have been married for a while and Ashok knows that Radha always wanted to become a doctor but could not for some reasons. While they are out for dinner with the extended family, Ashok says a mean joke suggesting Radha was not smart enough to become a doctor which causes Radha to be embarrassed. (Now simply replace becoming a doctor with anything else). And that's a put down which in turn is huge part of disrespec...
