Your home vs. your childhood home?
Comments (21)We lived in a 3 bed semi until I was 11. Half of it faced due north, so there was a room we never ever used. Then we moved to a 4 bed, which we needed, as there were 6 kids. I absolutely loved the second house. It didn't face any direction fully, so it got sun in most rooms at some stage. It was on a turning circle in a cul de sac, so it looked really small from the front, but had an irregularly shaped extension at the side that was completely soundproof.( My brothers could play their music really loudly and noone ever complained). This opened out into a huge garden, which my mother made absolutely beautiful. My parents built two patios in it together and my mother built her own flower bed, using dry stone walling techniques. My parents had lots of midcentury furniture, some of which was made by my father from a book on Swedish design. You could buy the orange sofa he made now! There was a little gazebo in the garden which turned out to be a monk's cell, the last part of the abbey that had been there. A tree in our garden was pruned by a man who happened to have come there as an apprentice tree surgeon, and he was able to tell us that it had had a bench all the way around the inside. It fell down during Hurricane Charlie, as the front wall was leaning, but my father rebuilt it over the course of 9 years. My mother's style is way ahead of her time; their bedroom has been duckegg blue and brown for about 20 years!...See MoreThe most homely aspect of your home!
Comments (13)The most homely thing about my home is the lounge in the autumn/winter. A cosy fire, a sofa blanket, a cup of tea and my dog nestled between my husband and I. We are about to move and the new house doesn't have a fire. It is my top priority to install one before the first Autumn!...See MoreSelling your home? Here are my top home staging tips!
Comments (7)A house is your biggest asset so selling it in perfect condition is the way to get the best price. The photos need to be crisp and lit well, so pick a time for the photographer to come round when light is at its best and put on every lamp and light. As the first picture online is the front of your house make sure the grass or garden is well kept and clean. Make sure the car is not in the frame to make it look bigger. Throughly cleaning every nook, window and tile, if chrome or brass then make it shine, hire a carpet cleaner for the day. I don’t think you need a professional property stager to do the above unless you want to avoid elbow grease....See MoreGo on then what's your latest impulse buy for your home?
