Yesterday I took on the task of painting the hall and bathroom, and even if i do say so myself it looks fab.
Obviously I have now have two transformed rooms but what i got out of it most was the feeling of independence, and the feeling that although I have a boyfriend who I live with it doesn't mean he has to do all the tasks which i know some women who say is a mans task such as the DIY.
Having lived with my mum for the last 19years i have watched her take on all the tasks around the home, wallpapering, painting and other forms for decorating all on her own. I remember asking her once how she knew what to do but it just shows what i must of picked up as no one told me what i needed to start my transformations yet i set off to wilkinsons and returned with paint, brushes, masking tape and pollyfiller for the holes.
So yesterday i got up early, put the music on and started painting the bathroom, after the first coat i looked around and thought yeh that looks good, so i continued on the bathroom and went onto the hall and just finished before James came back to me amazed. I think it even surprised him what i had done and how good it looked.
And after all the whole day i looked around and thought why do women rely on their men. I have got to say the women in our family have a go at a lot of stuff ourself but im sure in most familes DIY is left to the men, but why?? i felt such an achievement from what i had done and felt so much more independent.
I would definalty encourage more women to get up and do things themselves and not rely on them men, because if i had left it to James it would never have got done, but by me taking charge i got the bathroom i wanted and the achievement overall.
