My aunt redecorates her home as often as she changes clothes. She does not like seeing the same arrangement everyday as that bores her. If she can, she would redecorate her home everyday. She is on pins and needles every time she sees an interesting or new design on the television or magazine and wants to apply the design to her home right away. Thankfully she is not doing it as often as she used to.
There is nothing wrong in redoing the interior of your home. However, when you do it as often as every three days, it has become a problem. So whenever she has the urge to redecorate her home, we asked her to start with the lighting fixtures first. Fortunately, she agrees. The lighting fixtures she has at home are made of white clay which can be easily painted with enamel. I also lost count of the number of times she had the ceramic light sconces painted and repainted whenever she wants the lighting fixtures to match the color of the wall, rugs and curtains since she purchased them. Somehow, the ceramic light sconces are intricately made. It was durable enough to be able to endure the number of times it was cleaned, painted and repainted. It is also fortunate that we chose the ceramic light sconces which has the contemporary design as they can be easily mixed and matched. We just make sure that there are no liquid cleaners available at her house as that would damage the surface of the ceramic lighting fixtures.
I guess my aunt is just a frustrated interior designer. We tried coaxing her to try decorating other homes since she is really good at it. She could also make a living out of it. But for some reason she only wants her home and sometimes our home too, to be the canvass of her master piece.
