nate and i have been planning a move for some time now, and the pieces are starting to fall into place. 2 years ago, we bought our first house in brampton, and in those 2 years we have been working tirelessly to renovate EVERY single room in the house. the changes are big, and the plan is to sell and move on to friendlier waters. not that brampton isn't friendly. but we don't have many friends here.
in renovating, i've discovered a new/old interest in decorating. growing up, i used to "play" maid, and clean my parents' house top to bottom. so yes, as jamie said, i love to clean and love to decorate. my home inspiration is sarah richardson's design approach (very country chic!) http://sarahrichardsondesign.com/ obviously this means i'm quite addicted to HGTV.
here are two more blogs i refer to for inspiration:
obviously, renovating means you need a budget. while we have spent a lot of our earnings working on our home, we've made it a point to spend our money wisely, and only when we can. therefore, all of our renos have been DIY, and have been the biggest bang for the smallest buck. take a look at some of the work we've done - hopefully it all pays off in the next couple months as we try to sell!
