Apparently, I’m “extra.” 😂
And listen… they’re not wrong.
I’m working from a beautiful, modern office today with recessed lighting everywhere.
It’s gorgeous.
It’s also SO. DAMN. BRIGHT. 😎😂
My eyes are really sensitive to bright light, so yes, I am currently working indoors wearing sunglasses.
Which got me thinking about my own house.
When I bought it, I knew I wanted to remove the popcorn ceilings and replace the flooring. I was scared to take on the project, people asked me if I was SURE I wanted to do all that work, and somewhere in the middle of demolition I thought…
Well, s**t. If we’re already doing this, WHY NOT change the lighting too?!
So I added recessed lighting.
But because apparently I require ✨options✨, I didn’t just want ON and OFF.
I wanted to be able to control the brightness AND change the warmth of the light so when my house feels too bright, I can switch to that cozy yellow halo glow instead.
Was that a little extra?
Absolutely.
Was I completely ready for that remodel when I started?
Nope.
Was I scared?
Yep.
Was I excited?
HELL YES.
Was it worth it?
100%.
And THAT is one of my favorite things about owning a home.
You get to make your space work for YOU.
Want dim lighting? Do it.
Wild wallpaper? Please.
A ridiculous pantry? YES.
A dog-washing station? I support this.
A room dedicated entirely to your weird little hobby? EVEN BETTER. 😂
Your home doesn’t have to make sense to everybody else.
It has to make sense to you.
So tell me…
🏡 What’s the “little extra” you want in YOUR home?
