My mother in law gave me different kinds of expensive curtains as her gift for me for my birthday. We both have the same taste in choosing colors and style when it comes to curtains and other home accessories. I am not really expecting that she will give me a very expensive stuff. I am so close with my mother in-law and we treat each other more than like real mother and daughter. Being an additional member of a family is not that easy. We need to remember that it will take time to be accepted in the family. Problems with in-laws are inevitable especially so when they simply meddle in the couple’s parochial problems. The best way is to know the emotional state, social needs, physical problems or worries. Knowing them better would lead to better understanding of their attitudes towards you. We need to remember that developing resentment would only widen the gap between the families. We need to learn to accept our in-laws feelings in order for us to be able to understand them. I am so lucky that I am well accepted by my husband’s parents and families right away. I will always be thankful for all their efforts and help to me and my husband.

My husband is planning to renovate our house and we try to get the actual prices of the materials needed for the renovation. We have been planning to do the renovation almost a year now but we had to save enough in order for us to be able to do it. Now we have save enough money from our salary and we are now ready to start buying the necessary stuff that will be needed. We have talked to the persons that will be in charge to do the job. Renovating a house is not that easy because you need to spend a lot too. I and my husband made a marketing plan in buying the materials needed. We tried to compare the prices from different hardware in order for us to get the reasonable price for each items to be purchase. We have agreed to just purchase in bulk so that we will be able to avail a big discount. Our friends were able to help us to find the workers that will do the renovation. Our children were very excited about our plans because it will make their room more spacious and cozy to stay with. We are planning for a house party once the renovation is finish.

My friend last night asked me about opinions regarding what she has to change or renovate within her house. She showed me around and asked me to look at every corner of the house. She has a great house, which is why I wondered why she even needed to renovate or conduct home improvement. Her house was a two storey house, the first level was consist of her kitchen, dining area, living and receiving area and a bathroom at the end of the hallway. And her second floor was all about the rooms of the house, the house has 4 rooms, 1 for master’s bedroom, 1 for her sons room, 1 is for the maidens’ room and the 4^th room is left for their guest room. The masters’ room has its own bathroom and another bathroom that is being use for the whole house. She wanted to change the setting of her house, in terms of the lighting and repositioning of all the furniture that she has in their living area. I gave her some sort of advice and I suggest that she better ask the help of an expert like an interior decorator so that she will be directed properly about her plans.

I am living with my niece; he is a fine arts student. Who happens to be good in painting and graffiti? One time we had this crazy idea of redesigning and repainting the wall of my house. So I asked him to sketch me a design that could possibly add flavor to my living room. I told him that I wanted the design to be influenced by Asian culture. So he drew me a dragon that is like coming out of the wall. I was so happy with the design that I right away asked him to start the graffiti on my wall. And to compliment the graffiti on the wall, we then went on to the mall to buy some accessories that could add more flavor and ambience to my living room. After doing the said experimental home improvement, we were so happy with the outcome that I decided to totally do a little retouch of almost every where inside the house, from the bedrooms to the kitchen as well as in the bathroom. After days of work doing all the remodeling of the house, we invited our friends to come over and take a look at it as well as criticize on the project we did. For us to have an opinion that would possibly much of a help on where we may over designed it or done wrong.
