Our plans for our kitchen makeover that was going to happen around now-ish, are now on hold. We're now exploring the idea of adding a two storey side extension on to our home which we'd be looking at having done around the same time as the kitchen. So this means that whilst we enquire about whether or not the side extension can be done and whilst we embark on some serious saving, everything else has been put on hold too and that includes our living room, our back garden, our front door and some other bits and pieces that we'd quite like to do to our home.
The garden is a mess, it's not as bad as it could be, but still - it's a mess. The living room isn't so bad, it's actually quite a nice place to relax and there's not a major amount that we really want to change about it. The wooden floor needs attention it's scratched (a lot) and has faded a little bit too and we think that we'd quite like to have a few bits painted in there including the walls. Whether or not we will get around to having it painted before any further major renovations are done, I'm not sure. It's a big possibility as it would be nice to finish off a room that doesn't need much to be finished off, if that makes sense.
Recently we had the opportunity to work with Desenio again, we worked with them last year on this post: "Around our Home: Choosing our prints & frames" and we're now huge fans of their prints and frames, we're aiming to only have their frames up in our house by replacing old ones. We decided that this time around that we we're going to add some posters and prints in frames to our living room wall above our sofa, where we previously had a large picture hanging that we'd bought from IKEA years and years ago. We decided that if we are going to have to wait for a while longer for a 'finished look', we'd at least make a small, easy change that would give us more of the scandi/modern feel that we'd quite like in there.
