Decorators Delight!

So my brother and sister-in-law (D&S) got the keys to their new home yesterday! Very exciting!

It is a stunning house with soooooo much character. Here is one of the real estate shots.


But for as much character as the house has, it has as much wallpaper and old carpets and dust...

Here is the nicest looking room which I took a quick snap of today whilst trying to stop Will from falling down the stairs :)


Isn't the fireplace, mantle and windows beautiful. The wallpaper in this room is not too bad.

I'm going over again tomorrow to help with the big move and I'll take some photos of all the wallpaper, like I mean wallpaper on the ceiling and OLD wallpaper! Some of the wallpaper designs are not too bad but some.... well you'll have to wait to see :)

They have a big job ahead of them as it really is a decorators delight but the bones of the home are so wonderful and there are hidden gardens and beautiful views over the bush so once they have put their mark on the house it will simply be a stunning, magical home!

So stay tuned,

  7. It looks like a beautiful home and I'm sure with a bit of hard work they'll turn it into something very special! Keep us updated, I'd love to see how they go - redecorating is one of my favourite hobbies!

  9. The outside of the house looks great and I love that fireplace. It does look like the kind of place that will be amazing with a loving family living in it. Look forward to seeing more photos. G

    Do let your SIL know about the Decorating Forum if she wants to bounce any renovating ideas around:).
