The process can be fun if you give yourself time. Don't be in a rush.

Love the colour of your walls ! With you in sprit as we are doing my sons room whilst he is away. Included repairing broken plug sockets, replastering a wall and total repaint. Petit a petit, as we say in France.

Congrats. I'm sure you already know this but make certain anyone you hire is licensed and you have a written contract.

Hire for what? There is only one person doing any of it...you are talking to her! 😉

Take your time. I’m still finishing my house since 1979

Its a huge old Victorian end terrace. We'll be at it forever

@Amisja There no shame in that.

@ADKSparky Oh I know

Finally opening that banana store you've always dreamed of?

Hahahaha

Banana boxes are the best storage boxes ever! Really sturdy and the supermarkets recycle tons of them

I am full of envy. Fantastic to be starting afresh. I hope you are happy there.

Its actually my house. Its a long story but I was basically forced out. I'm going home x

@Amisja Even better. A new start anyway.

Save the large cardboard cartons. You can put cloths over them and use them as temporary side tables, perhaps with a lamp on them.

Good idea

We were so poor when I was a kid, we often used boxes for furniture. Usually boxes of my books, which I insisted on taking with us wherever we moved.

@davknight aww. We actually have tons of furniture. We are basically combining two homes. We have at least two of everything.

@Amisja Not my idea. It's what my daughter did after buying her first house on a mortgage, in London, aged just 24. She had worked out every last penny of expenditure, including her food, and had nothing at all to spare at the time.

@Petter I got my first mortgage at 19. Unfortunately I have always ended up with men who are awful with money!

@Amisja At least my daughter was lucky on that score. He future husband was also buying a house.
