House Redesign

Posted December 7th, 2008 by Rachel

I have just watched this fantastic program on the television, where an architect goes into a house and completely redesigns it so that it suits that families specific needs, This is exactly what I need to do with my house. We moved in 8 years ago and just decorated one room, the office that was orange to a more calming green and then moved in with our old furniture. It worked well and we love the area but have just not got round to decorating, some rooms have been done just because they needed it but some have not been touched, the carpets are mainly the original ones from when the house was built twenty years ago. We love the area and are saving hard to get our mortgage paid off as soon as we can. We would love to stay in the house forever but with two children, we are running out of room. We have converted the integral garage into a kitchen extension and that has helped but we do only have 2 bedrooms and a box room which means that we need an extra bedroom. The old dining room is a play room at the moment and this is a pretty good sized room and coudl make a bedroom but would need a partition wall put up between it and the sitting room and a new door put in. We have had quite a few other thoughts about major work we would like done as well, but what I would like most of all is to have the while place done all at once, new bathrooms, kitchen, decorating, layout, carpets and modern furniture so it was all new at the same time and all looking fantastic. I have never lived in a house where every room was new at the sametime and I think that it would be great. I have also never owned any new contemporary furniture, had brand new carpets or professional decorating and I think it would be fantastic.
