I am redoing most of my house atm.. New bathroom completely tiled, new kitchen..loads of repair jobs and decorating throughout.

"Top to bottom.

By the time I'm done there'll be very little left that was here before I started, but there are some bits I don't have the money for yet

"Less edgy (!) spin off. What plans do you have for your place, or what did you do most recently? I'm redoing my whole place and it's a nightmare, but I'm loving the results." Easter project, putting new flooring down in my bedroom. Long overdue. Next project, feature wall in my lounge with brick slips. After that, taking out part of a cupboard wall and putting in 3 sets of remvoving triangular display shelves. Plan is to fill each of the 9 sides with something different, books, ornaments, "stuff". If I get bored with the look of the wall, spin them around and make the "wall" look completely different. | |||

A longer term project for my place is to rip out the carpet and replace it with cork. (I'm in a flat, not ground floor, so cork works for acoustics. Want to get rid of carpet because it's harder to keep spotlessly clean) | |||
