    ok ok because I see Amir stressssing over the home aesthetic which I 1000% felt when I first got married and ended up changing aesthetics a couple times before finally getting it settled. biggest advice is to not go with trends that are clearly temporary like blue couch etc (I went through a purple couch phase lmao) but instead start with basic, classic neutrals that you can build with and add your own style to with accents. not too traditional and not too modern, just good transitional basic pieces that are more like blank canvases that you can add your own style with pillows and throws etc. If you pinterest “timeless” and “quiet luxury aesthetic” you’ll find some ideas! also, if you and wifey need help, ask Aysha she has great taste and experience ma’shaa’Allah

    • @dinaelrifai
      @dinaelrifai 13 днів тому

      but also, *usually* the wifey is the one that really enjoys the building the aesthetic process so just let her take the lead and try to just allow her to have fun with it and allow yourself to just take a step back and try not to stress 😅

    • @NannyDiaries23

    As a planner I find myself either stuck in the past because of the comfort of nostalgia BUT thinking about what i should expect ahead makes me always future-focused, so it can be hard to be present. Vacations are definitely my only time where I feel “free” to just enjoy where I’m at, bc usually I’m not the planner for it. Prob a product of anxiety, the need to know what comes next 😅 Also, when it comes to moving out w/ your spouse, even if you’ve had experience living alone, it’s a whole new ball game when you’re literally melding together two people’s individual lives into some holistic whole - it will take time and you will be challenged and changed along the way but the amazing part is you have your partner with you on this new adventure! So you’re really not alone, and you can choose to embrace the anxiety and newness knowing you have a solid person with you ☺️ same goes for any new life experience when you’re married It’s always the people most removed from your life that feel like they can blame/pressure you on the choices you make 🙄
