I thought I would share some decorating photos of a little house we bought in 2004 and renovated. Below are a few of the decorating bits I put together. It was basically a 1 and a half bedroom shack that we managed to turn into a 3 bedroom, 2 lounge room and eat in kitchen house. We put some walls back in as the previous owners had ripped them out. Some of it is terribly daggy and revolting I must say! Budget was very tight back then so everything was low quality, but I still thought at the time everything looked fabulous hahaha....
Gorgeous leadlight windows throughout.
I have since painted this cabinet and got rid of all the yucky fake greenery!
The bathroom was tiny and I think we renovated the whole room for about $1500 (my husband is very clever and tiled it all himself). We kept the original bath etc, just tarted it up really with new tiles, paint and vanity 9that I should have shabby chic-ed LOL).
The kitchen was a disaster. We knocked out a hole above the stove and put in a new SMEG oven and dishwasher. My favourite part of the kitchen was the chalkboard!

Hi Katrina. Where are those rascal boys?? 3 posts in one day!! The boys must be being good for you. maybe they are outside playing with Daddy.
Mmm is that the 'Red Room' couches I see? Looks like you have always been a stylish girl. Funny how over time when we look back at things we then think we should have done it differently.

Hi Katrina,
You are such a clever cookie, even on a budget you made your home look nice. Had to laugh when you said you chucked out the fake greenery, I used to have fake tulips on the dining room table, but came to my sences & hocked them out!!!!
Hope Cruise is looking forward to going back to school. Have a great week, chat soon.
Love & Hugs,

From one renovator to another - it looks great! I share your pain, jpy and frustration. Something only renovators understand.
Your home looks fantastic :)
