Leaving aside prohibitive cost for now
We have a small-ish house (3 bed semi, but converted the loft to get the bedrooms) and for various reasons have made decision to stay put for the forseeable, having previously planned on moving quite soon.
We can therefore put some cash towards small-to-medium alterations to make it better accomodate us and our children, 8 & 4.
I've been looking at small homes blogs, apartment therapy website & book and the one thing all the really functional & gorgeous small homes have in common is very carefully designed fitted furniture that totally maximises the space. Googling it brings up fitted bedroom chains like Sharps, or excruciatingly expensive options like Neville Johnston who don't operate in Scotland I don't think. Do I need a carpenter, a joiner, a 'finishing joiner' or just a DIY genius (in short supply).
And does anyone know where I can get a decent-sized (min 25cm) square or rectangular biscuit tin that isn't the polka dot Emma Bridgewater one that costs £30 and only comes in a set of 3?
DH and I have been talking all day, there's now not a single thing about the house I wouldn't like to change and tempers are getting frayed.
