If you're about to embark on a kitchen revamp or if your cooker is on the brink and you're ready for a new one, I've put together some pointers to help you consider which cooker is the right option for you. Ready? :)

In this post I'm sharing the new structural designs for our Modern Farmhouse look 1930s Kitchen Diner as well as a price comparison between the old and the new architect plans we had created. 

Are you about to embark on a living room revamp? Looking for new flooring? Sofas? Accessories? A lamp? I'm sharing the brands I flocked to when I renovated our living room recently. See where I bought everything and get some ideas for your project. Happy shopping!

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

Full before and after shots of our farmhouse-inspired living room and the home decoration progress we've made 6 months on. 

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. 

We had a new addition to No. 42 the other week and I am in adoration of it. Come see...

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.

I never ever thought I would see the day that I *preferred* laminate flooring to the real thing. Let me explain...

A little update on our living room renovation :)

A weekly update on the renovation project & life in general

Me and Neil were chatting about paint colours for No. 42 the other day. I asked him which wall sample he preferred in each of the rooms and he replied:

"I don't mind, as long as the whole house isn't grey. These samples all look grey"

Oopsy!

Progress at No. 42 is going steady. We're almost complete on the plastering of 2 rooms, living room and first bedroom, so we've set ourselves high goals to have these both complete by Christmas (sounds too good to be true given they look like this right now)

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.

Updates on our renovation! It's been a while since I've blogged about it all because I've been up to my elbows in wallpaper.

So where are we at 8 weeks on? A heating system is installed. Finally!

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!
