Our House

We have been so busy dealing with all other aspects of the property we bought, we haven’t given our own house much TLC. On the day we got the keys we ensured that we made the inside of our house liveable for us and the kids which we did straight away. It is a comfortable space with extra outdoor areas such as an outdoor kitchen and sitting room that can be utilised for most of the year due to the weather. We have also created a TV room/games room and utility room in the downstairs areas. But the façade needed work.

The building is an old farm building. It will always be rustic. But it was all looking a bit too tatty for our liking. This week we set to work on improving its look. Here’s a few before and afters…

After a jet wash

So obviously it didn’t look as bad as this before the jet wash, but we needed to get the flakey paint off.

A primer coat

After applying a primer we were happy with the progress.

A first top coat has been applied, plus the doors have been painted.
At night

We still need to apply a few decorative bottles with lights and stuff but, as you can see, our house looks much better after a week of work on it.
