Yep, after doing so much for our IP and tenants we are finally doing something for our own place. It feels good. However it is much harder when we are living here. That would be my DH, Myself, my 6 year old daughter and 4 year old son with one on the way.
Anyway, we own (scratch that) the bank still owns our place. It's a 70's wonder, and not a lot has changed to be honest. I do like retro, but this girl was in need of a revamp. It's a 4bdr, 2 bath family house. With no dishwasher! Yep, dishwashers were even present at caravan parks now, but I've been hand washing for more than 6 years now. We would like to stay another 2 years or so, then sell. So, I'll be presenting it as a family home.
It's a process and I get that, so this is how we are going.
This picture was taken when I went and took my DD to a 30minute swimming class... My 70's kitchen and very much dated and used.
As you can see, no dishwasher. Ok, no cupboard door that broke about a year or two ago. And the bottom two draws always fell apart when you opened them and had been repaired beyond their livable years.
When I came home after DD's swimming lesson, I no longer had a kitchen and DH said "I hope you were serious about doing the kitchen up." So the next day (Thursday) saw me travel the 2 hours to get to our local Ikea store, with my DS. Sunday saw the kitchen being delivered. Got to love Ikea efficiency.
No kitchen. Lots of things to do.
