😂 Now I'm all about seasonal candles and plants that won't judge me for forgetting to water them (sorry, succulents).
Haha, your DIY framing story made me smile—I’ve definitely been there with the crooked prints. I once tried to hang a gallery wall myself... let's just say it ended up looking more abstract than intended. Totally agree on candles too; scent can really shift the mood of a room without much effort. And hey, no shame in neglecting succulents—I've switched to snake plants because they're basically indestructible (trust me, I've tested their limits).
Haha, snake plants are champs for sure. And hey, crooked frames add character—at least that's what I tell myself after every DIY mishap. Your place probably has way more personality than those perfectly staged rooms on Instagram anyway...
I dunno, I live in an old historic house and changing decor every season sounds exhausting... I tried putting up holiday lights once and discovered the walls crumble if you even sneeze near them. I'll stick to my dusty bookshelves and crooked paintings year-round, thanks.
"I tried putting up holiday lights once and discovered the walls crumble if you even sneeze near them."
Haha, totally feel you on this. Old houses have their charm, but they're definitely not built for constant redecorating. I've renovated a few historic properties, and trust me, sometimes it's best to embrace the quirks—crooked paintings and all. Maybe just swap out a throw pillow or two each season? Low effort, high impact, and your walls stay intact...
I get the hesitation, but honestly, there are ways around it if you're careful:
- Use removable adhesive hooks instead of nails or screws—less invasive and easier on fragile plaster.
- Consider tension rods or freestanding decor pieces that don't even touch the walls.
- If you're really committed, install picture rails near the ceiling once. Then you can swap out decorations seasonally without ever touching the walls again.
I've done this in my place, and it's saved me from a lot of patching and repainting headaches...
