@rileys.musings: y’all mind if I just vent about home ownership for a minute?😅 #homeownership #oldhome #victorianhouse #antique #homerestoration #cottagecore #homeowner #homedecor
I think the internet makes you feel like it needs to be immediate. But there is joy in the process.

FACTS! Me and my dad redid our basement and there were moments where we wanted to give up (mostly me but 🤫) but SO worth it in the end! ❤️Good luck! ❤️🥰😁

we bought our first home 4 months ago. two things are true: you can love and be grateful for the home and complain about the process. it is a lot. I do not find joy in the process, but I take pictures so I can look at them later when my feelings are more removed from the situation haha. it's quite difficult when you work full time and then come home to another full time job plus caring for yourselves and pets. you are doing amazing work. I definitely get tricked by the internet too with home renos, but there is nothing fast about good, intentional renovations. sending you positive vibes!!

Oh this hits close to home (literally). I cried today over finally installing and painting baseboards since we’ve been without them for nearly 2 years now 😂

bought our first house last month. garage door (bearings, springs) broke the first week. I had no idea how expensive those parts are! also I’m itching to go buy all the furniture but learning to be patient and picky

This is such a good mindset to have. All storms shall pass, and there will be much sunnier days ahead! 🌸

This is very real. Everything takes 5x longer than planned. But I love following along and seeing how much you’re progressing!! It may feel slow to you, but it’s still inspiring and so fun to watch for us!! ❤️

I love seeing this real side of things! Always something in an old home that slows down the process

I also bought a Victorian home recently and I get the frustration I have no idea how to figure it out starting is hard but seeing yours gives me some hope

Yup! I *what I thought was temporarily* moved into my grandma’s old house in 2020 and didn’t fully start decorating for myself until like 2022! I’m honestly not even close as you are in 5 years. It takes a while to really build a HOME. ♥️

We bought our first home about 3 years ago. I’m JUST now starting projects. It’s going slow because we have to save for some things, but the progress is making me so happy

This is sooooo relatable. Also overwhelm of living amongst the partially completed mess of projects but not wanting to put the tools always so you can chip away at things throughout the week

So excited to follow along, no matter how long it takes! Our small kitchen reno took over a year - life is always live-ing 😆
