The backyard facing towards the house...
The yard
The kitchen, ho hum!
The lounge, complete with horrible beige heater...
The lounge corner, showing the unmistakenly uuuuugly lamps.
The bedroom, complete with teenager curtains and dull wall colours!
As you can see, our humble home is suffering from a bout of beige-itis. The entire thing is painted magnolia (shudder) and the trim is done in, what I can guess was white, but is now old-lady-teeth-yellow. The first thing we did of course was clean! Then we took stock of what was wrong/broken...have a page of writing left and we had a couple things that would be actioned by our landlord and a dozen or more that would be left to us.
Can I reiterate now, how much I love this house? Truly. It's sweet and unassuming, hardy and very old. It may have many scrapes and bruises but I still love it. I have high hopes for it and next month we get to really dig in and start on our journey of renovating!...well, cheap as chips renovating.. :) Can't wait!
