Rough Renovation Costs

Also prices depend on how much of a hurry you are in to have the work done...if you can source the materials on ebay/freecycle/sales etc over a period of months you stand to save a lot more money. Of course it does depend on having the capital available to spend at the time you see your bargain.0

It would need doing / finishing ideally before xmas so no major rush. I could do some of the work myself but only basic stuff (i dont trust myself with anything major). I think my biggest problem would be deciding how to decorate it. does anyone have any recomendations for gathering inspiration? like websites or magazines or other tips?slummymummyof3 wrote: »Also prices depend on how much of a hurry you are in to have the work done...if you can source the materials on ebay/freecycle/sales etc over a period of months you stand to save a lot more money.

I would like to keep it re-saleble so i presume keep it neutral?0 -
I would tend to keep the same colour theme throughout each floor - just adds to the continuity and makes it easier on the eye. Pick neutral colours for your walls and floors and bring colour in with curtains and accessories etc.0
