So it's taken 5 years to be finished, but we've been workin on it the whole time. It does get overwhelming, I know! Keep spreadhseets, they're great to look back and see what you've achieved and what is important to do first (I had no wardrobe doors for 12 months!)Elizabethhttp://www.walkamongthehomes.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3584172327201813821.post-48536610090167213462013-05-17T19:45:11.791+10:002013-05-17T19:45:11.791+10:00Oh no!

Love yo...Just found your blog via West End Cottage. Love your house, it has beautiful features and one day you will look back at these before photos and feel an enormous sense of pride ( and horror- how you live with that lavender every day I do not know!). I also have a blue house - with custard insides - called Betsy and have been living with the significant absence of perfection since we bought her almost three years ago. We have finally just started our reno last week if you want to pop over and take a peek. mel xBungalowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591099131301027446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3584172327201813821.post-63338951620596929412013-05-14T17:29:08.498+10:002013-05-14T17:29:08.498+10:00Thanks!

Generally people only want to show you the "good" aspects of their homes and not the "ugly". Some go to a lot of trouble to style their rooms meticulously, then a gazillion photos are taken, they are then photoshopped, etc etc all to produce the one perfect image. xxCarolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13606994564887624801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3584172327201813821.post-451432010101865212013-05-14T11:21:57.437+10:002013-05-14T11:21:57.437+10:00It sure is OK!

There are also things I see which we could have done better/differently/cheaper etc and sometimes I want to give up. You have such a great house, just take your time and try to enjoy the process as much as you can ;)In The Night Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12508609818814795548noreply@blogger.com
