After completing on the sale in June 2014, I had just 6 weeks to completely strip out and renovate this derelict mess. The open plan living and dining room grew by a metre in size by removing the two walls as you enter the property. In the dining room, I was able to play with the lighting a bit more and used a new supplier, Jam Jar Lighting, to create a retro feel, with the giant light bulbs hanging in the centre of the table.

The kitchen has remained tiny in size but feels like it has doubled, thanks to a fantastic German kitchen supplier, Kuchenwerks. I have managed to use clean lines and symmetry to create a minimalist look which maximised the space. In the bathroom I took a risk by using Porcel Thin tiles; about 4 mm thick. These super thin tiles come in huge slabs so it enabled me to only use a few, minimising the grouting lines. The faux marble effect looks so chic for a fraction of the high street cost.

The garden took a little bit longer to complete and for the planting to begin to mature. The garden office, from the garden office company, fits perfectly nestled under one of the willows.
