We've lived here for about 3 months and don't have any a massive budget.
It's an old house which is very nice as I love character houses but it's a bit bleak now Autumn's arriving...I'm in Oz and it's getting quite chillly!
There are wooden floorboards throughout and I did splash out on a few rugs when we moved in but I see we need more....it's quite a big house.
So those are on the horizon. But there's a definite lack of cosiness going on.
I have a fireplace that works and it's probably time to light it so that will improve things...and a fireplace that's empty and non functioning in another room and needs something to make it look pretty.
Two sitting rooms both have BIG fireplaces and mantles.
Kitchen is very vintage with original fittings...any ideas overall to make things less bleak?
WHat attracted me in the first place is now feeling a little bit Dickensian!
I want to generally warm the place up. This is probably made worse by a visit to friend's last night in their modern, centrally heated and stylish home.
