2018 was pretty easy-going in terms of home renovating. We did a fair bit of work, don’t get me wrong, but it was all casual with no single room being the focus of the year and no major destruction unfolded. Compared to 2016…

It’s that time of year when we look back over the last 12 months and all that we’ve achieved in the house, renovation-wise. I do one of these posts every year, so if you’re interested in seeing our home-reno journey so far, then…

If you follow me on Pinterest, you may have seen I’ve been pinning a ton of attic conversion ideas over the last month. We might still be a long way from beginning any work up in our attic – but a girl can…
