This is one of my most requested blog posts, even though it was such a simple room to make over. Read how I transformed our unloved conservatory to a utility room…

Every year I sit down with Neil and we make a list of the areas of the house we’d like to save for and work on. It’s a really great way to get focus on what you want to achieve with your house renovation. Have a read, and get ideas for yours…

It feels like only yesterday the house was full of dust from our kitchen diner renovation and I didn't see myself planning the next project so soon... but yet here I am putting early ideas together for our bathroom project which will hopefully start in Summer/Autumn depending on estimates.

We are 4 weeks in to our kitchen diner remodel and honestly, it is amazing what can be done to a house in less than 1 month. I feel like the house has transformed! 

If you're in the early, first-time stages of renovating or redecorating a kitchen like me, and you too have no idea what the process to order a new kitchen entails, then I hope today's post will help walk you through how we have designed and (almost) ordered ours at Howdens.

If you're about to shell out on a crazy priced house improvement I think you might be interested in our take on this...

In this post I share with you my Kitchen Diner mood board, tips to create yours (in 10 minutes flat!) and a clever way to project manage your decorating. 

Hello! I've been meaning to get this post up for months but I decided I wanted to share it shortly before the renovation starts (hopefully on schedule to kick off in late April) so it won't be so much of a wait on progress shots.

A little update on our living room renovation :)

Our grantastic to fantastic house renovation hit a new rock bottom last week.

Our budget spreadsheet told me we'd hit £10,000 on outgoings doing up the house so far, yet when I look around the place looks worse than when we moved in.

Having lived here for almost 4 weeks now we're beginning to get a better feel for how we want the house to look and work practically. 

Grantastic to fantastic Neil calls it :-) check out our plans

You know that feeling. You've just moved in and you're itching to see what kind of flooring there is underneath the carpets. Are the floorboards in good nick? Well check out what we discovered when we ripped up the carpet in our master bedroom...

Ok, here goes nothing. Are you ready to see the house we just bought? Here's what we're turning from grantastic to fantastic

After choosing possibly the worst time to buy and sell (thanks Brexit!) we've moved! Hello No 42, I can't wait to decorate you from grantastic to fantastic!
