What with all this talk of ditching plastic and milk bottles, I've been shockingly remiss and not posted a Monday Moments renovation update since the end of November.

But before any type of gorgeousness happens inside, we need to install the underfloor heating (UFH) throughout as this obviously needs to go in before... Continue Reading →
