This week has been filled with the misadventures, nosiness and general all-round interference from various moggies on our sites and at home. In Project Tosca, so named due to the yowlingly operatic Oscar above, Team Moregeous have been fitting a new kitchen but we had a little hiccup early in the week. When I was... Continue Reading →

I'm so behind with my property renovation blogs!! Getting a shimmy on the Photoshopping / blogging front by finishing off showing you Project Payne, an apartment we renovated in record time and now have rented out, so then I can get onto Projects Pizza, J and Tofu!

Project Payne – Planning a bedroom fit for a ‘princess’! Eat your heart out, Kate Middleton ;-)
I posted images of the huge fireplace in this rental apartment bedroom last week and below are some of the rest of the completed bedroom, along with some hideous befores.
