Hello! This is my first thread on Mumsnet.
My husband and I are incredibly lucky to own our 2 bedroom flat. We live here with our 2 year old.
We have lived here for 5 years already and have barely done anything with the place. We've refitted the bathroom and that's it.
We now need to slowly start making it more ours but we don't have a huge budget. We'll have to do as much as we can ourselves and slowly so we can save up on the way.
We need to do the following work:
Replastering the master bedroom
Fixing small cracks and painting walls, ceilings and skirting boards
Complete kitchen replacement
Carpet replacement throughout
Putting up shelves and replacing some inbuilt wardrobes
Updating furniture and decorations
Replacing interior doors
Does anyone have any tips on doing this without breaking the bank? I know we'll need a professional to do the plastering, kitchen and carpet refitting but do you think a DIY novice could attempt to handle the rest? I'm a complete beginner but hoping to learn with the help of youtube. Am I insane to think I can do this with a toddler in tow?
