Very nice job candicenorth! I am glad you are happy with the changes you made. Did you find a new spot for your birds, as chookchook2 suggested. Now that all your pictures on the hallway wall take notice, it does look a bit busy with the birds. They might look nice on the wall at the top of your first landing, if you hadn't found a new home for them. If you do consider there, they should be all on their own. Enjoy your new home.

Initial purchase price, budget and final realistic selling price all dictate what is wise to do. Are there any others for sale/sold in the same road particularly those which have been altered that you can compare with. Having a chat with a few local agents will give a pretty good idea what people want in the area and are prepared to pay for. You may well find that the straight refurbishment is the most cost effective and that some of the nice to haves would only make it quicker/easier to sell rather than add to the selling price. Downstairs wcs are a nice to have, but if it's done at the expense of the layout then probably something to avoid. Generally as long as the exterior is up to scratch particularly roof/windows/guttering, the outside space tidy and the interior plain and clean with a reasonable kitchen and bathroom then it should always sell. If it's for own home then you can take a longer term view with regard to payback.

We love the white too! It looks great alongside the white sloped wall and window areas. You've done a great job, well done :)

Hi there! Always liked what can be done with old furniture. Unfortunately we throwing away so many beautiful pieces instead of giving them a second life. Great respect to what you do!
