Update of Tired Bungalow
Comments (8)There are a couple of photos on my profile. The clients did the majority of the interior and made a really good job of it, but the photos are very much at ' a in work in progress' stage...See MoreUgly House to Lovely House? How can we transform this tired exterior?
Comments (20)Thanks, Donut. It has taken a long time, but we are finally getting towards the end.
