Real versus Fake
Instagram is setting a very unrealistic set of expectations for me. Not in body image ways. I don't really get impacted by that very often. Home project ways. I follow a lot of home decor/DIY influencers. It seems like they do a project in a day or two and their house is right back to being amazing. They don't really show the setbacks. I decided to paint the main living areas of our house over break. So I have painted: the entryway, the dining room, the laundry room, the hallway, and the living/kitchen. Well . . . almost. The kitchen area is not done. It took me a month to settle on a color. I needed it to match with an accent wall behind the tv in our living area. According to Pinterest and the patches of paint I painted all over the house- it was going to be perfection! I decided on a nice greige and fully committed to it as I purchased 5 gallons to start with. Good thing I really really like the color. 5 gallons would have been a total waste of money. Once
