Well, a makeover that was supposed to take only 2-weeks while we were traveling, is finally finished after a month over the due date. We are quite happy with the changes, but unfortunately, we are left drained and traumatized with our "living with toxins and in paranoia" experience with our first painter/artist. We had to hire a real painter to redo the walls and ceilings. After living in our dream home that we designed and built 9 years ago, we finally changed the old carpet to new carpet/hardwood, the living room sofa, and the interior paint. During the building process, the idea for keeping the interior color white/neutral was for resale purposes. Now it felt right to give a splash of soothing colors. With this moderate makeover, I can say we are definitely not moving for quite a long while.
