A dream come true! My husband and I have been planning and designing our own space, whilst renting, since we got married. After 13 years and three children, we finally got the chance to implement our Pinterest boards and visions we had for our family.
In 2021, after many life and work challenges, we started looking for a house that ticks all our boxes. The first house we viewed was the first house we bought. We saw all the potential it had for our family of five (three boys included).
We had four weeks to renovate from the time we had to move out of our rental house. Needless to say, the renovations took two more weeks and we had to move in with my parents for the time being. We then found out that we all had the big C (covid) and the whole family had to isolate together. FUN.
When we moved in December 2021, we realised that the projects would start in January 2022. It took us more than a year to get where we are now, and we are still going strong.
