The cracks are definitely showing, the house has always dragged her down but interest in it has died off now, it's not new anymore. She's got no excuses to keep making videos, room tours etc, because they've done nothing to it because they clearly can't afford to. So instead of re-evaluating her priorities, and getting a job to help pay for the things she wants to do, she continues to go to the gym, beg for freebies, and make absolutely horrendous lamp shades out of a £10 glue gun and a pack of pom poms off eBay
Kate Murnane could teach her a thing or two about home renovations,,,,,,,,
Yes agree she's done no real transformation to her house at all.
A lick of paint and some gifted furniture and disenio prints doesn't equal = transformations.
Lee was an idiot to brag it was quite clear structural work and new kitchen utility would be in region of 10k they don't have.
Kate murnane house not totally to my taste as my kids would trash that many neutrals.
But she's got good classic taste and I like the way she dident try to squeeze a island unit in her kitchen and she no utility.
She has odd wide hall layout.
Upstairs is odd layout rooms but the bedrooms office and bathroom are lush.
Downstairs she has kitchen and 2 reception rokms.
Enjoyed her garden makeover.
She's lucky her dad did a lot if the carpentry.
Meldrums lack vision.
What baffles me about playroom is why is that room a play room?
It's the only room that overlooks the back garden and has doors to walk out.
If you love the garden wouldn't you want to enjoy the veiw.
My advice reb is
1) If you hate lounge so much repaint change curtains add a rug and paint the woodwork.
A cheap wood burner is 2 to 2.5k that's your adult lounge.
2) move the huge dining table into the family room where love chair is.
It looks took squashed in the kitchen.
The other end of dining room move kids toys and play area.
Maybe add a small desk so she can supervise her kids.
Because if arch off kitchen dining table would look great in family room.
Also whilst she's cooking she can more easily keep an eye on the kids playing.
3) kitchen paint the cupboards
New wall tiles
New floor
Smaller maybe round table and chairs where dining table is now
To create breakfast nook
Maybe move toy kitchen in there too so poppy can play cook when mummy is.
Paint the dark wood craft cupboards and use them as pantry.
It's she cooked more and had basic staples she would save money on her grocery bill.
Move fancy pants freezer into dining area bit too don't understand why it's in the garage.
4) where playroom is now make that a nice snug family room.
That corner sofa in there will dominate the room and leave little space any furniture.
Some bi fold doors and decking to replace awful patio.
It's going look total meds with old corner sofa 2 kallax units and other toys.
But like Kerry whelpdale but smaller scale
