In a few years, Ramona, my wife and I will be looking at retirement facilities. Our choices will be easy: "Here's what we can afford." "Here's what we got for that." And done. Maybe a choice of paint colors. Maybe. Oh well!
Meanwhile, we are finally getting around to changing the AWFUL wallpaper in the guest (actually Deb's) bathroom... after 21 years (so, maybe not THAT awful?). We tend to be the types who don't like to fuss with what we've got.
LOL. So that bathroom wallpaper never grew on you, huh? I decorate when I first move into a house and if I like it, it'll probably stay that way forever, with only slight changes. I call it 'old shoe comfortable'. I don't know what anyone else calls it but it's all ours and we're happy here.
I loved this one, Mona! I have watched this show (along with many others on HGTV) and I too, chuckle and wonder who these people are and where do they print their money? The “first world problems” they must endure, are so ridiculous and laughable. I must admit, I do enjoy seeing the “reveal” promised on these shows, seeing the vision that these notable designers come up with. By the same token, I am often thankful to not be the homeowner, faced with the “what the hell were you thinking” response, that must be suppressed while cameras roll. I knew that we must be related, because, I, too, have no interest in constantly changing my home decor. I like what I like and I’ll change it when I don’t like it anymore…but, don’t hold your breath! 😉😘❤️
LOL. I think the worst part is when the potential buyers think it's okay to insult the homeowner's decorating decisions on camera. So rude!
And the new impulse to paint everything grey and monochrome drives me crazy. It's not natural! The world is full of color! It's like living in an institution.
"BIG" Smiles.

P.S., retirement is great. No more Mondays!
