An early Christmas present came our way yesterday in the form of a key to our new flat (Plus a big fat mortgage, thanks Santa). We won't be doing a huge amount to it just yet, as we will be renting it out for a while (don't worry potential tenants - paint/carpet/light fittings/curtains will be replaced very soon). I do love how the building is frozen in time though, and we will be keeping many of the lovely original fixtures. I'll be sure to post some photos up after the mini face lift. In the mean time, feel free to share with me your thoughts on the best white paint/good looking carpet/favourite pendant light. I just love a project. Note: The last picture is of the garage, I'm already imagining my collections piling high...
Congratulations....the adventure begins.
ReplyDeleteVery exciting! I love Dulux White on White and Tiger Grey sisal carpet from Natural Floor Covering Centre.... used them and love them!!! Sorry - can't help with light fittings!
ReplyDeleteHi Briar, I'm terribly sorry that I don't have any great tips to leave you. I'm currently renting but am looking forward to moving into my new house which is under construction as we speak. Just wanted to wish you a merry Xmas and New Year and thank you for your great blog. I only discovered it a couple of months ago - can't remember how, but I am writing to all my favourite blogs to let them know how much I appreciate them. I look forward to hearing the news of your new flat. All the best, Suzanne
