Renovation Nation Part 4 .....The End....

Towards the end of last year my posts were all about the on going house renovations... However I never got to finish the journey of our renovations! I got busy moving back in, , the Internet was down for the first few weeks of our move, I got busy redecorating, to be honest I got busy with everything else besides my favourite things  to do , BLOGGING and CROCHETING!  the post below was just beginning and so I decided that I would carry it on, and end the renovation journey......

 

So, 2 months on......

 

On Thursday when I wrote the last blog on my renovations my house was a TIP!!! What a difference a few days can make! OH boy OH BoY OH BOY!!!! Uh.... Excited.com!!! One week later the house is looking like my home again, vastly different, a totally new home but my home! Some rooms are done, some patiently  waiting for paint and cleaning...... Take a quick peek..... 

  

Outside Is Still A Tip!

Cupboards, Plastering And Painting

 

Bathroom And Laundry!

Can you know see why I am so very excited..... It is all starting to look like a house again and not a building site.

Right so this is the end of the post I started on the 5th of November! I also for some unknown reason and to my horror STOPPED taking photos at this stage! (I think excitement had a lots to do with it) So today I pottered around and took some picture for you to see..... Then I hit on a great idea.... why not show you all the house as we saw it and now...... so here goes....

Now let me tell you what I learnt from Renovating our house..... 

 

1. Do your homework  - look at peoples houses and see what you like

2. Do your homework - ask people who to use, people who are happy talk about it!

3. Trust your builders they know what works!

4. Have an idea of what you want to spend however be flexible  

5. Its your house do what you like - I heard this over and over from our builders

 

The wonderful, gorgeous and beautiful people who build for us have changed our lives! LITERALLY! We will never be able to thank Dave Natalie and Tilly for our home.   And that, as they say in the classics, is that! We are done and dusted and as you can see have been living back in our brand new home for 3 months! To say we love it would be an understatement. We have fallen in love with our home all over again and its  so good to be HOME! xxx
