House Renovations: The BEFORE + Plans: Two Storey Front Side Extension + Kitchen and Garden Makeover
Saving to create the home we dream of for our family in the village we love so much has been a goal of mine for a while, because despite my love for travel and adventure, I am such a homely sort of person and love having somewhere that is ours and that is our 'root' as such.
Just over two years ago we managed to save up enough money to have our loft coverted turning our three bedroom home into a four bedroom home, which then gave us a bigger room for our office. My Husband and I both work from home, he runs a business creating and selling LEGO figures and models aimed at adults and I run this blog and my youtube channel.
Since the loft conversion, which has worked incredibly well for our family, we've been saving hard again for the next stage of our home renovaitons. This time we are focusing on the bottom of our house and we've decided to go for a two storey front extension which will make our kitchen bigger and pretty much double the size of our youngest little boy's bedroom, which is currently our box room. We decided not to take the extension to the back of the house as the space it would have given us on the back would have been a bit awkward layout-wise. So we're saving money by simply knocking down our garage (which is currently behind where the new extension will be) and replacing it with a large shed.
At the front of the house we will be buiding a large porch and will be replacing our current front door which currently is on the side of our house with a new modern black one. Inside we will having our kitchen ripped out and replaced with a new one, we haven't finished finalising details around extactly what we're having but it will (of course be) white as we're such big fans of the scandinavian-style white decor.
