ISTJ seeks inspiration

I am completely addicted to the idea of fixing up my house. It's a nice house, very nice. It needs something though. It needs a change from the 1980s to a more modern look. That's the point where I lose all of my umph. I know I want the kitchen to look warm and inviting. I don't want to paint my cabinets but I do plan on stripping the pink and blue wallpaper. I know I want my teal and pink curtains removed from the living room and dining room, but I don't know if I want to paint the walls or focus on new window treatments.

I watch hours and hours of HG tv and buy tons of magazines but it's just not in my makeup to make my house look like one of those houses. I lack creativity and I lack the balls to make choices that might be worse than what we already have. I stare and stare at my teal and pink curtains wanting to just rip them from the windows until I figure out what to put there, but then I get scared that I'll never move past that and the windows will be worse than they are now with their pretty in pink theme. I have creative friends though...we'll figger this out, RIGHT FRIENDS?

Tree and Amy are the creative ones...

I know what you mean though. I really want to paint my dinning room but I have no idea what color.

I'm finally taking the initiative to rip up the carpet in the living and dinning rooms and putting hardwood floors in there and the kitchen. Finally.

Me too! I have a whole house to fix-up but can't really do anything fun 'cause we are going to rent it and can't spend money like we were going to live in it. I agree, lots of potential! But you know what?? It looks nice the way it is for no money. Love the kitchen and seeing familiar things in the picts, probabaly like different though. love Mom
