The Feng Shui will be well off here. We have a small damp area in our money area. The cladding is coming off outside our relationship area and the bedroom is in the loft and has the beams exposed and they have lovingly painted them black, like a pub. nice. <br /><br />Front door is already on order. Blue. its a start. We will sort the rug once I have worked out the colours. and we have to make do with plants in certain areas. and I am on the look out for a picture of woods with a stream in it. not somber. but have some brightness to it. not sure if I believe it all but once it is done people see subtle nods to it all. the people who bought our last house. the woman got it straight away. and knew what things were.Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-41343886952018952492015-05-03T17:12:55.652+01:002015-05-03T17:12:55.652+01:00Reminds me a bit of our bathroom, but we've go...Reminds me a bit of our bathroom, but we've got the blue version rather than brown!

I think in the 70's this house would have been the best in the street. But as the tiles have been broken and things have stopped working they have tiled over tiles and then bodged a fix. Oh and some one has punched a hole in the door.

THAT is one ugly bathroom and you have your work cut out for you! but to be honest - ours was pretty crappy when we moved here - as was the rest of the place - it's going to take time (and of course money!) but you'll learn to prioritize what really needs done and what you can live with for a couple of years! our first winter here we boiled snow to fill a bin that we put in our bathtub. we laugh at it now but man did it suck! good luck with finding an oil heating fitter - they might be making the sucking noise to cover up their absolute horror of seeing the carpeted steps!!!<br /><br />one last time - congratulations on getting your new place!<br /><br />your friend,<br />kymber<br />(oh bahahahahahaha! that bathroom rocks!)kymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-7941746339113301252015-05-01T21:11:53.574+01:002015-05-01T21:11:53.574+01:00The no hot water is what is the real problem. its...The no hot water is what is the real problem. its like old fashioned tin baths.

But, half the fun of moving is making your new home really "yours". Yeah, it may take time (and some filthy lucre) but in the end you'll have a comfy home again - with all your taste and decor. Reclamation yards will be your best friends? :)<br /><br />Can wait to see how you take out the grot and add the comfy - if you're willing to share the journey ?<br /><br />Above all - have fun.Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04020970904311512357noreply@blogger.com
