I have a list of things I want to update in my house.. money is tight so I’m wondering if I should save and do all the bits in one room or piece by piece.
Fo example my bedroom I need to:
Re paper one wall (it is lilac butterflies left from when my daughter was in this room before swapping). (£30-£40)
New light shade (£10)
Buy and hang a mirror (£20-£30)
New chest of drawers replace an old one that doesn’t match the existing furniture and also some of the drawers are nearly broken. (£120)
Living room
New carpet, existing one is 9 years old and just permanently looks grubby, carpet plus underlay is with free fitting (offer on at the moment) is £235
Small cabinet from IKEA (£30)
Lamp (£20-£25)
Some small decorative items like nice vase and artificial flowers, cushions- not essential but nice.
Kitchen
New Lino floor ((£120)
New sink (£60-70)
New worktops (£130-£150) not including the price to have the work done.
I can only spare £120-£150 a month from my income would you do the smaller items first or save for the bigger costs first or maybe save for a room at a time?
