We have just finished our bedroom, a few pics of before & after.






























As we don't have as much storage space here we decided to treat ourselves to a new bed. The space is amazing, better than draw divan we had before.

The whole room looks lovely now, a much warmer feel to it.

Look good Debs, you have plenty of drawer space now to put the photo's in

lots of hard work gone into that, you'll need a holiday

that sounds like a good idea DB

Don has worked hard, but he is loving it.

Think the next room will be our 2nd bedroom which is going to be dining/study but we need to move a radiator to put french doors in....bit chilly at the mo

Great job Debs lookinggood

yes we thought about changing our rads, as they look and are very old but could be a summer job

Had to refit mine after we got the plastering done, a good tip from my dad is have window putty to hand. He always uses it on any water pipe he refits....

Old school plumber but it works

It's on the outside wall under the window where we want french doors, so it needs to be moved to another wall. Don can do it but it needs to warm up a bit first

Looking good Debs, like the wallpaper.

I've finished the third bedroom here now (the old kitchen) pics in the silk purse thread.

Did you just demolish the old wardrobes or did you try and sell them?

Looks lovely Deb.

A "shared" rep for you & Don!

Thank you Jen

No we just took them down the tip Mark, no good to anyone else. So glad to be rid of them

We have our own wardrobes in now, Don has had to modify one of them as it was a 3 door wardrobe & it wouldn't fit! He has done a good job with it. He also had to redesign the draw units in between the wardrobes. They were both 4 drawers in each but was too high, so he took 1 set of drawers out & fixed them together - now a better height.

Our room is so much smaller than the old house

Yes I saw your pics Mark, looks great. You'd never know it used to be a kitchen

It's coming on Debs. (Ours) Just the bathroom, hallway, and externals like driveway and front wall left to do now.

You'd be surprised at what sells on ebay, it might have been worth a punt sticking the bedroom units on there as you had a fair few of them. Even if someone had given you £20 and collected them for free it would have been better than a tip run with no vodka at the end of it

Have a rep for the progress anyway

Cheers for the rep, will pass it on to Don as he done most of it

They were home built wardrobes, no good to anyone really. Doors didn't close or open on one of them! Pretty naff really.

We have the bathroom, lounge, 3rd bedroom & outside work to do. Don wants to widen our drive too

I think Don just wanted rid of them

Your place is looking reaaly great Mark. It is very satisfying to see the end result.

Yours has taken a lot more hard work than ours

looking good debs !

rep from me

Looking very good there Deb's a rep from me for Don as well. Both you & Don & Mark & Jan, have done brilliantly since you both moved in, at your respective homes. I love seeing the before & after photo's, well done to all of you.

Bathroom has been done a while now, but a couple if pics of how it looks now.No idea where the old pics are lol









Taken me a while to get photo's on computer.

Got drive pics to come

Looks great does don sleep under the matress lol.

Here are some before & after pics of our driveway.



Before.

It was a fair size but we needed it wider for Don's mid life crisis...erm new car  





We have actually had 3 cars up here since it was done.

All in all very pleased with it, so far.....

bathroom look good Debs    

Thanks DB, its such a small room so hard to get in to take pics  

Found some of before here







So much nicer now

It all looks lovely, Debs.  It's so satisfying getting things done to your own taste, isn't it?

Well done to you & Don & a rep for you both on the way!  

We have been working on the garden for....well it seems years   but its starting to take shape.

Few pics of before & after. Not completely finished yet as we have new fencing to go up at the back.

When we viewed the house.







And now.





The turf has only been laid today so needs time to settle, but it makes the garden look so much bigger.

It was very hard work, we had 2 skips to get rid of all the soil in the built up beds.

We have left the sides as they are easy to look after.

The bath/pond was an eyesore & needed to come out.





We have also put decking this side & Don has fitted French doors.



Looking good so far.

Slow upload connection & I had settings on my camera set too big which means its taking ages to upload pics. But more to follow.

Getting there

Looks good Debs  

Looking good Deb's, a rep from me.   

some where to sit on those summer evening Debs  

Thank you, we are please with it.

Both sides were very overgrown so we chopped it all back & painted the fence.



Also had to renew the shed.
