what can happen in a year . . .

So I’ve lived in my flat for just under a year, and I thought it might be time for a little bit of Before and After. Of course there are still things I’d like to do, but it’s at a stage now where I’m ready to do some show and tell! Yeah.

So in no particular order….

Then….
Now!
View from stairs into main hall before…
And now (yeah, not quite so proud of that one…) :Living room before…

And now:Living room from kitchen before…
And now:Kitchen before…
And now:
Studio before…
And now (oh dear lord):
Roof terrace before…
Roof terrace (from inside) before…
And that’s all you get of the roof terrace, because everything has died. I blame the heatwave.

Top landing (or, as I like to call it, ‘The Library’) before…

And now:
Main bathroom before…
And now (in two shots):
Master bedroom before…
And now (oh no, just spotted crap still under the bed):
Master bedroom before…
And now:

Phew! I hope you enjoyed this little tour. :) It took flipping ages to put together! But I’m so happy to see how it’s turned out; it really feels like mine now. Tomorrow if you can bear it, I’d like to take you on a tour of some of the details. Just a little one. :)

I'd love it if you'd share!

    What a difference!! I love the way you've made this into a "home" with all the touches that are "you". I think that's chalkboard paint all on one wall in the kitchen? Fabulous idea!! And I totally "envy" the top landing that you turned into a library — what a relaxing, cozy spot!
