When you retire is a great time to get your life in order, and have everything just the way you've always wanted it to be. Before you retired, you frequently made plans, and just as frequently didn't have the time to see those plans through to completion.
Once you've retired, you'll have plenty of time to make your dreams come true, instead of beginning tasks, only to have them interrupted, leaving a mess that you never seem to get around to cleaning up. What better place to begin getting your new life in order than in your own home.
Along with the extra time you now have, you probably also have a bit of discretionary income, so you can afford your projects without having to borrow money for them.
Now that your children have moved out and are beginning to build lives of their own, you no longer have them making messes faster than you can clean them up. Giving your home a makeover can give you a tremendous sense of accomplishment, as well as satisfaction. The best part is, once it's done, everything will stay right where and how you left it. Your home will now become your own private little castle.
During this process you have a chance to experiment with color and design. This is your chance to either begin from scratch, or try using the designs of others and tweaking them to suit your own personality. You may even want to hire a professional designer to at least give you a little expert advice. This might be a good option if you are unsure of yourself. If you think you might like to do it all on your own, my best advice to you is: "Go for it!"
When redecorating, I've always found it helpful to remember one thing: "Decorating is not an event, it is a process. By this I mean, redecorating isn't something that takes place overnight. A lot of it is a matter of trial and error, and even evolution. Even when you think it's done, over time you will want to make little changes here and there to improve what you initially began with, whether it's a different chair or simply the same chair in a different place. Or, maybe you'll decide the mantle would look better if you change the blue vase for a green one.
Don't be afraid to experiment, and see what fits your personality the best.
