Going thru a tragedy in your life is really a hard thing to do. A tragedy like a divorce can really tear your family and house apart. One of the ways I have dealt with this tragedy in my life is to exert all my energies into beautifying my home.

I started with the exteriors of my home. I didn’t want my house to look gloomy so I had my house repainted in bright pastel colors. Now that I have the freedom to do whatever I wanted with my house I decided to use a Mediterranean theme for my décor.

I got the exterior house paint ideas from a home improvement show I saw on TV. The house was painted in lemon yellow with the roof and awning in ball pen blue ink. Small details like the borders of windows and the front door were painted in a lighter shade of blue to match the color of the roof. This gave my home a happier façade that surely made it cozier for me and the kids.
