Hi
I've just bought Victorian property and feeling a bit overwhelmed as it is my first and bought alone... Not sure where to start with redecorating I'm expecting to spend 10-15 grand over next 2 years am I being realistic
So far things on my to do list include
There are 7 sash windows some with slightly broken panes need refurbishing and draft proofing. I would double glaze but too expensive and don't want to remove them.
Floorboards seem ok and all will be stripped sanded and waxed or painted. I need to do living room, 3 bedrooms and landing.
Stripping and sanding stairs, banisters and skirting boards.
Replasteing (possibly back to brick hallway and landing).
Repainting hallway including stairs and woodwork with bright but durable paint going for dulux dusted moss.
Replastering dining room and sorting out patch of damp in one exterior wall which is dry but plaster underneath wallpaper crumbling. Will then need to be repainted add picture rail.
Small front drive needs to be completely dug up and then paved hoping to leave small shrub area.
Back garden cut back by me now few more trees to cut down I'm hoping to pave a border, have a central lawn and surround shrubs and nice summerhouse fitted. Fence has recently been done.
2 bedrooms (10 by 11) and (17 by 11) need replastering repainting and floor boards sanded and stained/varnish.
I am hoping to do most work myself with help of partner. Will get tradesmen for plastering, front drive and garden.
I'm lucky as kitchen and bathroom done 7 years ago plumbing and electrics ok. I may need to replace a internal few doors.
