The Renovation thread
I read somewhere that someone likes Reno pictures (was it you, Ro?) Anyway, I do, too. So I thought why not have a thread where we can post photo's of, or talk/swear about our reno's, before, after, and during. 
Get posting, folks!

I was going to post a before and after of our home office in our 'other' house - but my PC seems to have 'eaten' the 'before'!!
I'll have to see what else I can find.

Re: The Renovation thread
Ok - a before and after of the office we did in our other house (the far right is the opposite end of the room). The before is more kids than office, but it's all I can find. Not so much a renovation either, more just redecorating/furnishing. But I loved the end result.
Edit: Found the better 'before' pictures (now the two on the right), filed in the wrong place
so have removed my kids!

You've inspired me to find a pic of my first ever tiling attempt.
edit to add: thanks, the office colour is showing a little 'greener' than it really is, it's a touch more grey - but close enough.

At the moment, I don't have access to a lot of pics of the interior of my place but I do have pics of my back garden reno!
Before - grass-lined shoebox
After - what it looked like the day I left for Canada. I'm hoping my nice neighbour has kept her promise to water it!
