We’ve been living in this house for six years, and finally decided to do some much-needed quality of life improvements. We are still busy, but this is some of the progress so far.
Kitchen: moved the kitchen to the rarely used ‘dining room/storage room’.
We had to remove a wall to make it open-plan leading to the lounge/dining room.
I designed the kitchen using online tools.
My contractor supplied and installed everything. It’s about 95% finished.
Lounge: there were two outside rooms (an outside toilet and a small storage room), which we removed and combined with the existing small living room.
The result was amazing; we gained an extra 7sqm of space.
The ceiling was redone and new lights were installed.
Bathroom: the old toilet had already been replaced; we then replaced the bath and basin, and retiled the entire bathroom.
