Hi everyone, my partner and I recently bought our first home. Being young we bought a house which needed some work. The house we bought we still stuck in the 60-70's and had not been updated at all!! Every room had been wallpapered (including the kitchen, batroom and toilet!), besides the wall above the staircase because they couldnt reach it haha.
Here are some pics from the online listing.

as you can see the wallpaper was everywhere! Even the mural in the dining room was wallpaper!
So first job was to strip off the wallpaper. What a pita job! We decided to just do the dining and loungeroom first. The stipping took one weekend and the washing of walls took another few after work days.

So then we started painting. Wanted everthing light as there is not much natural light in the house and the loungeroom only has wall lights . We chose lexicon white and some kind of grey (I cant remember the name haha) for the feature wall in the loungeroom.

So now we're nearly finished laying the floors. We should of had them done this weekend but we got sidetracked buying furniture and nick nacks haha.

Even though we havnt put the skirting back on in the loungeroom we couldnt resist putting in our new lounge! Seeing light at the end of the tunnel gives you more enthusiasm to do more work. Seeing this definetely gave us a smile.
