Oo a blank canvas Natty, how lovely
The whole house will be done once the spare bedroom is furnished... which means I can start again at the beginning :cool:

Thanks for the photos mwc I love nosing at houses/d!cor!!
GG ours is more on the magnolia side combined with nattys half-finished-bare-plasterboard-ready-for-DIY look!!
I think if I could have another career (maybe when Im MF) I would be an interior decorator.... my day would involve leafing through thousands of Ideal Home type magazines, possibly in the garden, perhaps with a fake pimms .... :rotfl:0 -

I will give it a go tonight to see how much money I earn!0 -
I flicked through a housie magazine earlier on today, and no one gave me any money:(
Hopefully you'll have more success (although maybe it was because I wasn't drinking fake pimms at the time?!)February13 - £74990 (or thereabouts)

I've had a bit of a spendy day today
- a fly zapper
- silver paint, velvet chenille upholstery fabric in a silver grey leaf pattern and foam for my old ottoman refurb project :cool:
- a lampshade for the spare bedroom
- a birdcage design wall sticker for the landing
- a wardrobe (26% off RRP + I remembered to go through TCB for 6.3% cashback)
Resisted buying a bed for the spare room (makes sense to have carpets fitted first)Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

Sounds a lovely spendy day though MWC I love buying house stuff!
Natty - I tried the same last night and no money in my bank yet!- maybe payroll haven't got round to it yet, I shall try again tonight :rotfl:
Ps I have a feeling there was a free home magazine somewhere on the freebies board then at least combined with fake pimms very little outlay for the start of such a business!0 -
Here's the next room Natty & TYO
Bedroom 3/Mr MWC's office
Now it's clean & tidy I don't really want to put Mr MWC's sh!te back in :rotfl:Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000
