When Graeme and I decided to move in together we vowed not to buy the first place we viewed, but lo and behold, it happened! As soon as we walked through the door, we fell in love with the place. The purple kitchen, grim bathroom and the smell of dampness didn’t put us off. The apartment hadn’t been lived in for over a year and the renovation seemed never-ending but we eventually created a home that we can still enjoy to this day.

Home Transformation - Throwback

This was my first proper interior design gig. Graeme had bought a fixer upper with a neutral colour palette in mind but, I suggested something a little more adventurous. I was going for a New York loft apartment feel and proposed we furnish the place too. We were a new couple at this point so, to my amazement, he agreed without hesitation, set a budget for me and didn’t question a thing! I guess that’s why we’re still going strong!

Home Transformation - Living Room Before and After

About 2 years ago, we decided to renovate the flat and move back in. In the lounge, we freshened up the walls with a new paint colour, sanded the floors and re-finished them, moved a radiator, changed the window dressings, replaced the ropes and hardware on the sash and case windows and put in new furniture.
