When we moved in the house had wallpaper on every interior wall. Not bad wallpaper, but not what my wife wanted. So she wanted paint every wall. There was no texture to the walls, just flat smooth sheetrock. One of my buddies paints interiors of houses for a living. So we hired him to come put some light hand texturing on the walls. My wife first removed all the wall paper, he textured the walls and she painted. I "got" to help move the stuff around but she did most all of the painting.
Of course once all the walls were done she she decided the floors in the bathrooms needed to be ripped out, and new porcelain tile put in, and of course while we are in there, might as well do the shower and new granite counter tops, and that of course means new sinks and faucets. And we might as well do the laundry room and kitchen so the counter tops all match. The heated floor in the bathrooms are great.
Of course that meant we needed new wood flooring in the entryway, formal dining room, and hall-way.
About a year later she decided it was time for all new carpet, so that meant moving every single item we own, out of a room and back in to the room.
It has taken 21 years to get the house where she wants it. She decorates the house her way. The garage is MINE MINE MINE, but I do let her park her Macan in there. And just minimal crap and it has to be temporary. My stuff is of course important.
