Uncover expert tips for selecting the ideal house for renovation, maximizing your investment, and transforming it into your dream home with our guide.

How much did your house renovation cost?” is one of the most frequently asked questions Neil and I get. Our insights will help you budget effectively for your home renovation, so you can transform your space within budget.

Neil and I bought our house in 2016. There it is in the photo above. Having never bought a fixer-upper before it's safe to say there were a lot of things we were completely blind to when we came to the house to view it.

If you're on the market for a fixer upper, or you think one day you'd like to do a renovation project and make a house completely your own, then there's a few points I've learned to look out for along the way.

If you're planning to sell your property any time soon, don't put it on the market before you've implemented these styling tips. It could mean the difference of up to £30, 000... read on. 

Here’s a nifty open plan kitchen diner idea that we implemented. When you’re limited for kitchen wall space and can’t hang a radiator, kick space heaters (also known as plinth heaters) are the solution…

Neil and I are just home from a rural weekend away in Kent, and what an interior-inspired weekend it was. I got so many country home decor ideas…

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…

After a 2 year wait living in the most retro bathroom you can imagine, finally we did it. Take a look at our bathroom makeover, with before & after pictures (and promo codes if you’re renovating too!)

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.

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. 

What is your stance on the whole "luck" superstition? I'm personally really supportive of those who believe and practice feng shui, or those who carry traditions through in their homes.

I've teamed up with Dulux to bring you the antidote to the Blue Monday effect – we want to introduce happy colour into your home, so you can decorate your way to a happier home.

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

Crikey, there are some awesome things happening right now that I need to share with you...

Here it is (FINALLY!) the before and after shots of our wood burner being installed. Come meet my new best friend...

I thought I'd write a bit about mine and Neil's story saving for our place and the cuts we had to make (and still have to) to acquire a big enough deposit to buy in the Brighton/Hove area whilst keeping maintenance costs of the property in mind. 

Ok, in 2016, I vow to decorate slowly. Wanna join me?
