house looks amazing Lynda – hope it’s yours??
a project to be very proud of – well done.
Yes Carol, it is ours! We’ve been in since April 2011, and we are very happy with how it has turned out. Some landscaping still to be done, as well as curtains and blinds to be installed, but they will happen as I find the right bits and pieces.
Looks great, Was this a kit home?
