Dream Design

It's kind of sad and kind of frustrating listening to my mom talk about the house. Since she's stuck on watching all the home design shows she's been talking about remodeling at least once an hour. I can totally understand that she has ideas of how she wants things but 1. we can't afford to do anything any time soon and 2. she refuses to do anything to better the situation now because it's not exactly what she wants. She's one of those people that you see on the shows that hasn't painted or done anything small to the house at all because it became an all or nothing ordeal. It's really frustrating, the house is totally white and it's like living in an institution. Her room including her bedding has always been white for as long as I can remember. Not because she likes it but because she won't do anything to it! She didn't even want to let me paint our bedroom because of her paralysis. The kitchen would be the first thing she would do and she's been eying a Franke sink. It's one of those deep single basin sinks so that we don't get the dreaded splash-back that we get now. Washing dishes is probably one our least favorite things because we're always drenched after. I wish she'd at LEAST start with painting though. She always complains about how bad it feels to come home and just a little paint can create such a big change. I don't think she gets that.
