Moving in to first home

This lovely couple were moving in to their first home. It was fun discovering the right style and colours for them. They didn't want to change any of the wall colours yet, so I added warmth in the accessories.

You just have to see this transformation!!!

I think this has to be my favourite transformation EVER! When you're not selling your house, you can use your rooms however you want to, but as soon as it's going on the market, each room has to make sense.  This amazing party room was to be listed as a "Dining Hall", but it was right next to a beautiful dining room, and the only living room in the house was more like a Snug, so it made sense to turn it into a large Living Room.

Before - as a "Dining Hall"

After - as a beautiful Living Room

Transformed in one HOUR...

Looking forward to completing this house on Thursday!

8th February 2012:  I needed to demonstrate how this room could look if we transformed it from a dining room into a living room, so I spent less than an hour moving furniture around and 'pinching' from other rooms. This isn't the final result, we need more furniture brought in and a larger rug, but it gives a good idea of how it would look.

Buy a new sofa

My client planned to buy a new sofa and chairs once she had moved house, but I convinced her that doing so now would increase the saleability of her current house. I only advised this as I knew she would be purchasing a similar sized property, so there wouldn't be a problem fitting them into her new home.
