So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

How Couples Can Renovate Without Fighting

By Justine Frost


Houses, like other things on the planet, aren't resistant to the effects of wear and tear. Eventually, these structures need to be renovated. Couples are well aware of this fact. However, the idea of renovating is not something many of them welcome with open arms. This is because home renovation projects are known to strain unions.

According to experts, a lot of couples argue ceaselessly during the course of the project. After the renovation, a few of them even end up on opposite ends of the relationship. The causes of the arguments are usually different renovation-related matters like the budget or schedule. However, sometimes, it's just a case of stress taking its toll on the couple.

While there is no denying that undertaking a home renovation project is both physically and emotionally draining, this doesn't mean that couples should close their doors on redecorating their houses. Just like other tasks, renovation can be hassle-free. Couples just need to know the essential things they should do to prevent this project from damaging their union.

Creating a plan is one important thing couples must never forget to do when embarking on this endeavour. Every renovation-related matter should be tackled, from the materials to be utilised to the outcome that's expected. During this stage, couples must also anticipate other possible scenarios that they may encounter during the project. One of them is the possibility of going beyond their budget. To prevent arguments later on about this topic, they should also set an amount for unforeseen expenses beforehand.

Another thing that can make this project less stressful for couples is engaging the services of an interior design Singapore firm. In addition to conceptualising the best house design, a Singapore interior designer, with his/her wide network, can help couples secure high quality materials at lower prices. With an expert taking the lead role on this project, couples do not have to worry about resolving matters on their own.

Lastly, frequent communication during the project is extremely crucial. Both parties should be privy to all the details of the renovation. Individual concerns need to be aired and heard. Most importantly, decisions have to be made by two people, not one; after all, it is a house they're both going to live in. This move is the best way to prevent arguments and ensure that both parties are really going to be pleased with the outcome.
