Encouraging and equipping women over 60 to live their best life!
Remodeling your bathroom is one of the best investments you can make in your home. Depending on your age, different factors come into consideration. Is your personal preference most important, or is resale value? What is the value of the surrounding homes in your area?
My teacher kept telling me, “Stop thinking; just paint,” so I did. What came out of it was a very powerful painting that is still one of my favorites to this day. I titled it, Emerging/Disappearing?.
This was the beginning of a new direction in painting for me as I found that it gave me an outlet for all the emotions I had buried all my life. I have since sold many pieces and done commissions.
Since I found out how easy and cost-effective it is to change a tub/shower into a walk-in shower, I wish I had done that for my mother. This is even more important for the elderly who are still living in their own homes and taking care of themselves. I believe no elderly person should have to climb over a bathtub edge to bathe. Doing so, is asking for trouble.
I’ve helped my grandfather move from his home in Texas to a senior living home in New Mexico to a nursing home to heaven. I’ve watched my mom move from her large home in the Albuquerque foothills to an over 55 apartment near me. I don’t know about you, but I’ve found that it’s emotionally exhausting to downsize. And the great lesson is, sometimes stuff is just stuff. But memories last forever.
