Around this time five years ago, we had our offer on this house accepted and were preparing to purchase our first house. We didn’t get the keys until March the following year, but we knew which house we’d be moving in to – and boy, does it need a lot of improvement.
Things have been a bit quiet on the blog the last week or so, sorry about that! I’ve been busy working – and then we have been really busy decorating the living room as soon as my project was wrapped up.
We are definitely DIY people. We can’t afford to be otherwise – our home improvement budget certainly doesn’t stretch to “getting a man in”… although I must admit after hours of filling, sanding & washing the walls to prepare them to paint I sort of wished it did. Realistically, it just about stretches to the materials and tools needed to get the job done ourselves, and we can only do a few rooms a year.
