Once upon a time, I wanted to be an Interior Designer. I played around with the idea for months, and even started an online interior designing course to help me achieve my dream. But I never got around to being one. The dream kind of frizzled away, just like my dream to be a Fashion Stylist(which I also studied for), and my dream to be an Accountant/Human Resources Consultant, which I studied at the University for 5 years in total for both degrees.These dreams and more frizzled out, giving room for my current career, which I love by the way.
Sometimes I do catch myself thinking about my dream of becoming an Interior Designer, especially when I am watching TV programmes like Homes Under the Hammer (I use to watch it every morning at some point), and wonder how my life would have been if I really became one. However I am very happy with the career I have chosen and how my life is going, so no regrets here.
I guess that explains my love for pretty homes. I am quite homely; I like to spend time in my home, and I like it to look very pretty. If I had an unlimited budget, I would give my house a complete makeover. I have many home improvement ideas in my head but I have to take it one at a time so I get them all done properly.
I have previously written about our garden plans and our need for a big shed. We got one last summer and we are making good use of it. It is a perfect size, so it stores all our junk neatly, and there is space for some more junk, which is good. The only thing I am considering changing is the shed windows. I recently came across Simply Plastics – a supplier of plastic materials and products for over 25 years, and they stock Replacement Acrylic Shed Windows, so I will be exploring that as an option later in the year.
I would also like to improve some of our home decor like cushions, mats and the likes. I plan to do that this Spring.
My favourite part of the house is the bedroom, followed closely by the living room. I spend a good amount of time in both rooms, and I like them looking their best, as well as the rest of the house. So new bed sheets, duvet sets, curtains and the likes will be updated this year.
The kitchen is my busy place, I like all the required kitchen tools and gadgets in place, to make my cooking as fast as possible, and my family fed. I recently got some new kitchen gadgets so I think we are good as far as the kitchen is concerned.
The truth of the matter is we never stop improving our home. Whether it is a new coach, washing machine or a new home office table and chair, the home improvements never really stop, especially when you are a home owner.
Do you enjoying home improvements? Have you ever studied for a career but decided against it?

I’ve also toyed with the idea of doing something regarding interior design. I would love an unlimited budget to do whatever I wanted, including spending hundreds of pounds on cushions (something that would never happen in my own home!). I agree, we never finish modifying our homes look as there is always ways in which we can improve it!
Exactly..
This is what I wanted to do too for a long time! I don’t know why I didn’t do it
Same here..
I really wanted to be an interior designer as well growing up. I still have a passion for interiors, I just now work in social media instead! x
Nice x
I used to want to be an interior designer too! I never pursued this but I’d always draw out my ideas and designs when I was younger.
Ah cool. So there were many of us..
I love doing home improvements and am never 100% happy with the way my flat looks so I’m always doing things x
Yea me too x
oh i would also love to do this , to be fare i think its the shopping aspect i think im more in love with x
Ah nice..
I really enjoy home decoration and love my home to look on point always. I didn’t go for interior deco course but I am good at improving and decorating my home. I love a beautiful living room, bedroom kitchen and bathroom.
Ah nice. I do too.
Giving up on dreams is just temporary in my opinion. We all temporarily move on till we have time to come back or something brings us back! Great Post
Thanks Harry.
Yes, I do enjoy doing home improvements. I moved into a brank new house June 2016, it was a blank canvas. 8 months later, still working at it…it takes time, and will always be an ongoing task.
Oh nice. Yes the work never really stops.
Nice…!!!
Thanks.
I had that dream too…. and made it a reality as its too hard to fight! Follow your passion today
