We moved into a 3 bed cottage earlier ths year which needs completely updating. So far we have painted the outside, sorted the front garden, replaced the bathroom and I am just putting the finishing touches to DD1's room (she begged me to make it pink). Where shall I go next, choices are:
Finish the upstairs by:
- DD2's room: easy job as it's just wallpaper, painting & new carpet ( but the decor is not awful at the moment and DD2 is only a baby so is not petitioning for pink,yet)
- Our bedroom: hideous job as we need to strip textured wallpaper, replaster ceiling/possibly walls, sort out the condensation in a built in cupboard (how?!), empty & move our massive wardrobes out so we can get a new carpet down (all for aesthetic improvement really)
Or start downstairs to:
- knock through kitchen/dining room into one & replace kitchen (hideous, messy & expensive job requiring planning permission, RSJ and lots of money which we may /may not have - but would having this done would definitely make the most difference to our lives)
What do you think? I was all excited and enthusiastic after getting two rooms done but, now I write it all down, I am exhausted just thinking about how much more work we have to do!
