Chris said to Sarah at Christmas last year to put the house up to rent out for a year and they would then go travelling. Sarah told him they couldn't with 5 kids in tow, but she got called a foo. If they actually stayed at home long enough and did things properly, that house could actually look OK. Chris is such a bodge job though, he starts one thing then leaves that to start another. He probably still hasn't finished the wardrobes, the staircase needs a stair gate, Jace needs a bed and Mila needs a cot. The house looks so blooming cold with all those tiles everywhere, it needs carpet and decent furniture, not sofas here there and everywhere. Big luxurious curtains at the windows to cosy it up in the winter and blinds or curtains at the bi fold doors to warm that huge horrible space up. For such a huge space, the kitchen is tiny. I'd have had the kitchen extended over to where the grey sofas are and put a huge wooden table in that room. Where the black sofa is, if they use that door for coming in and out, I'd buy a nice cloakroom unit type thing to store all the shoes instead of them being in a pile on the floor all the time. Maybe to make a few pennies, they could release a book of "how to ruin a house" cos that's what they have done. Notice they still blame the builder for the state of the house. They have lived there 18 months ( I moved the same day they did) and I've done loads more than them to my house. Chris will chip away at Sarah until she agrees to go travelling again.
