So so so much more work to do, but here is the progress so far as stripping back and taking out goes.. Ceiling beams are off (having been secured with six inch nails this took a while!), bricks (fake ones stuck onto ceiling beams) are off, the textured wallpaper is stripped off (which also took a while..) and the carpets and underlay has been taken up. We are lucky to have a recycling tip not too far away, and so far have done about 10 car loads to get rid of all the rubbish. More progress updates on the way...

Major Renovations: 1
So this is the big project that has kept me so busy recently, a seaside house on the Kent coast. Last interior update was in 1988 so lets just say there has been a fair amount of work to do. And as this is my first project as a property developer, I have so far learnt a lot, but also gained a lot of bruises along the way. These are the 'before' pictures. The property is a '2 up 2 down' terraced house built in 1910.
Dream work space.. TBC
This is literally the perfect work space; love the trestle leg desk, little wall mounted storage boxes, stool and accessories. Practical, organised and a space that makes you want to work! I have a project in mind for my work space so will update my progress...

Room Update.. A little more finished!
So here is the next stage finished.. slow progress as I have been busy on another project at the moment. I came across this mirror and decided it had to go up on one of the shelves.. I love its dye effect and the blue grey colours in it. And these Ikea shelves are so good, you can easily change what you put on them from week to week to update your space. So this side of the room is completely finished, just the other side to do now!
