Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Sep 27, 2008 4:25 pm Ok, I told you all a while ago my daughter has bought a “perfect fixa upper”
This is where I have been all day, helping her clean. So this looks like a project I will be up to my armpits in……so I thought I would post it in my forum and show you progress of the work as it goes…..slowly.

Good old dad has come to the rescue with brand new kitchen/bathroom fixtures and laundry fit out….which I forgot to post a photo of…it’s a shocker! So here we go….this is my LONG TERM project as DD gets into it and mother dear breaks her back in that garden.

How exciting its got a great view. All I can say is ...........Good luck and have fun. Re: Candice’s new house….OMG:( 3Sep 27, 2008 8:52 pm Wow love the view.
But the toilet could do with a colour change. Mind you isn't orange coming back in . Maybe not the peach shade . Kitchen doesn't look too bad. She's a lucky girl having you and her dad to help out. Re: Candice’s new house….OMG:( 4Sep 28, 2008 5:31 pm Some of the colour combos are not the best - toilet and blue bathroom But as others have said - a perfect fixer upper with a great view
I think the kitchen is great too I can't wait to see the progress pics My karma ran over your dogma Re: Candice’s new house….OMG:( 5Sep 28, 2008 6:16 pm The kitchen is going!!
It’s had water damage to the base of it from the dishwasher, shame it’s a pretty good kitchen.

As I said this kitchen is pretty good, she was going to just replace the base boards, which is all that it needs. But dad has a better one sitting in storage, so why say no……he’s offering! The fire place is going also…..it’s sitting in a really bad position in the room, so it’s gone! At my request! It will be replaced with a gas unit they like gas.

I can imagine that house will look stunning once you get your mits on it Michelle! Lots of work there though.. Have fun Re: Candice’s new house….OMG:( 10Oct 04, 2008 3:09 pm I’ve been at the house again.
I forgot to take photos. Turned myself inside out in the garden, whipper snipped till I thought the neighbours would throw something at me. Back again on Monday, this time I’ll take photos. Left my trooper of a daughter with paint brush in hand………………… Internal and External Building and Colour Consultant Online - Worldwide http://www.denovoconcepts.com Re: Candice’s new house….OMG:( 12Oct 04, 2008 3:59 pm My daughter bought her first home last year, a very neat little house that she just HAD to repaint all the way through. I never wanted to see another paint brush in my life after that. She put a nice new kitchen in and retiled throughout, its just amazing how a bit of new stuff changes the feel from a little old lady's house to a young modern pad I still never want to hold another paintbrush Re: Candice’s new house….OMG:( 14Oct 04, 2008 4:44 pm I like painting.
BUT….I like to hang in the garden more. So I was happy to let her and the future in laws do the painting while I and the future son in-law attacked the gardens. I’m pooped! My hands are killing me.
