Thanks! :D

Our renovations to date have cost us $1,500. This includes plaster and paint that I will be using to fix up the kitchen, so the final cost works out at $500 per room. I reckon that's pretty reasonable considering the transformation we've achieved. :)

Yeah, there's a real charm about this place. It's got a nice Pommy feel to it and we're aiming for a sort of "country cottage" look.

I can see it's had a lot of TLC over the years. Good sized 2nd and 3rd bedrooms too. If my family and I end up moving to a house like that we'll be very happy :cool:.

Thanks! :)

For those who are interested, here's a floorplan of our house:

Hope that's readable, it looks a bit blurred to me. :blink:

My office still has a DIY built-in wardrobe from the original owner, which I'll be removing as soon as our sea freight arrives.
