My mum is at it again! Going against my better judgement and making decisions that affect both of us without my agreement in the matter. You may remember last time I really wanted the kitchen done but she really wanted the bathroom done, and she won. Yeah the bathroom looked good and she made the right decision, but she’s not going to go two from two.
Mum wants to get our front room and front door upgraded, and I agree with her. However, the replacement windows she’s chosen are so ugly! It would actually do our house a disservice and embarrass us in front of the neighbours. The windows at the front of our house are the first things that our neighbours see when walking by, and it means it’s the first impression they get of us and our style. I would hate for us to be laughed at by the neighbours, but Mum doesn’t see an issue with them! I swear she has the worst style. But she just thinks I’m arguing with her for the sake of it. That’s not the case. I’m arguing with her because she has ugly taste.
I could find her a much better timber window replacement in Melbourne than anything she’s found so far. I don’t know why she doesn’t use window designers and experts in the city. I’m all for supporting local, but these businesses in the city have gotten themselves there because of their expertise and style. I love the style that comes from the city of Melbourne. It’s so modern yet has a hint of traditional class. That’s the style I want for our home, but instead my mum wants to go all crazy and install windows that are all different colours. Like Mum, please. Just go for a traditional, simple and classy style. There’s no need to get all creative with the colours, it’s ugly.
There is often the question that comes up around the time of any major event, particularly one as lavish and potentially time-and-money-consuming as a wedding. These question tend to revolve around re-allocating those funds, and how best to navigate the rest of your life while you are still trying to prepare for and go to you wedding. This can be tricky to answer, and at the end of the day, it has to come down to you and your partner’s personal preferences and choices.
