We have been in our house for over 5 years now and the lounge hasn’t been redecorated since the first week we moved in. Yes we have changed the curtains, rug and cushions to give it a facelift but not a full-on redecoration. That all changed in February when it was all change. In the … Read more
We bought our house off-plan back in 2010 when we only had Curly and Little Bean with Beanie Boy cooking in my tummy. At that time we thought we would stop our family at three children so a four-bedroom home would be ample size for us. We moved in two weeks before BB made his … Read more

As I sit in my ‘almost’ finished kitchen/dining room I’m quite pleased with the new look we have achieved this Summer.
