While it’s not really possible to explain the amount of elbow grease used this weekend,  I hope that the results speak for themselves – what a difference a day makes!

So dad and I start the long and pretty disgusting clearing process today…

The bath


and the sitting room! all we need is luck!

Starting at the very beginning, here is the images of a flat I spotted back in February and immediately spotted its potential.  Tucked away behind Shepherds Bush Green, the location is ideal, the street quaint and the tiny one bedroom bolt hole I immediately visualised as the most perfect option for my very own flat.  Whilst numerous delays and complications ensued, I finally became the owner this weekend.

Tired, weary and neglected (and that’s the flat I’m referring to I promise!) I am embarking on a little project to create my very first home within these four pink walls.  So hold onto your hat as I fear it’s going to be a bumpy ride, but one I already know will be well worth it – enjoy!
