A Time of Magic

It seems like forever that we’ve been intending to get the bathroom updated but we’ve been just too swamped with other things lately to make much progress with it in the last month or two.

We’re actually almost at the stage of getting the builders in for the final quote but need to tidy up a few loose ends so that they can finalise the quote and get started on the work. The problem is that at this stage you start thinking about things like a Toto toilet and thus get yourself diverted into considering a slightly different look than we’d originally started with.

I think we just need to sit down, go through the catalogue and list everything now!

Everyone generally concentrates on the major house improvements like the new conservatory or the like.

However, there are a number of equally impressive smaller improvements that you can make too. These range from simple slipcovers through to decorating (which can almost equate to a major house improvement). In the middle ground are easy upgrades like adding a nice set of garden furniture for the summer or simply redoing the arrangements of plants in your garden to create a totally new look.

These don’t need to be expensive improvements either. Whilst you can certainly look towards expensive furniture shops for your garden furniture, often you can find ranges that are just as impressive by looking through a DIY store (garden shops tend to be on the expensive side).

We’re in the process of a forced upgrade to our bathroom which is a bit of a nuisance really.

It does have the advantage that we are getting to go through a major update of the bathroom which definitely needed one. So far, we’ve the choices out with the builder who’ll be coming back with a quote for the work after Easter.

Next up is the kitchen where we also have effectively a forced update on our hands too. That’s at an earlier stage so we’ve not even looked at kitchen faucets as yet but we did have a bit of a glance at some things whilst choosing things for the bathroom.

Now, “all” we need to do is get the money for it all
