My story
A renovation was top of our wish list when looking to buy a home together, and this place didn't disappoint. The original Victorian footprint hadn't been disturbed - it; was a blank canvas begging to be updated. As there was damp and woodworm everywhere, and the back of the house was bowing, we didn't feel guilty ripping everything out and starting all over again.
We took the floor plan, made a detailed drawing of what could work and then Ben gave up his day job to concentrate on the build, which included adding an extension to the back of the house and installing a new kitchen and bathroom. It was exciting watching the transformation as we literally took most of the house back to bare brick before putting it together again. It was even more exciting decorating the place. Although Ben likes a white minimalist look, colour and pattern was always going to feature for me, so I had to make it work for both of us, but having somewhere to finally showcase my collection of artwork
