It's not a proper house

It did make me laugh when my mum said to me, 'it's not a proper house' because it's a bungalow.

Mine and Paul's first home together was an apartment in Salford Quays - Media City. We loved it! We loved the layout, so to us a Bungalow is perfect and i think with this particular bungalow the ideas we have are going to work well together to make a cosy yet contemporary family home.

The plot we have gives us the opportunity to extend in the near future but for now we are concentrating on updating and adding our own touch to the main house.

It's so exciting for us to be able to add own our stamp on the entire house as every room needs updating, so Paul particularly has been working really hard at weekends and late nights on stripping the house back to just a shell.



Got the Keys

It has always been my dream to move back to Cheshire. I miss the countryside, village life and the schools are excellent.

I kept looking at this Bungalow, I loved how it was hidden away on the photos by it's mature garden. We eventually went for a viewing, saw so much potential and it's in our ideal location. After a few more viewings and some offers thrown back and forth, sold! It was ours!



On a very exciting Saturday we went into the village to collect our keys, followed by a cup of tea and teacake at our new local coffee shop.

Oh Hello!

Hello there,
Well 'hangs head in shame' it's been awhile and i've pretty much failed at my first attempt of starting a Blog but i'm back and hopefully i'm not going to be as useless this time round!

A-lot has changed for me since starting my Blog, Paul and I have a beautiful daughter called Summer who is now 16months old. We are enjoying every minute of being parents (can't wait for teething to be over though! It lasts forever....).
I am still working at Planet Eclipse but now only part-time as i want to spend as much time as i can being a mummy.

My main focus for my blog is going to be sharing our new project with you, our new house! Very exciting and hoping to be in for Christmas!
