Posted in Garden
With the house just needing one room finishing and a few final touches here and there, we’ve moved onto the garden. This was really why we bought the house but it still needed a lot of work.

We knew that the very first task we wanted to do as soon as got the keys for the house was to rip up a horrible flea-ridden blue carpet in the front bedroom. The photo from the sales brochure below hides quite a fetching blue velvet headboard that had also been attached to the wall.
