Our little house is a 200 year old workman's cottage built on the outskirts of Bath over looking the city, which at night is the most beautiful sight when all lit up.
The cottage has had little maintenance work done on it as it has been sat empty for the last 2 years, so was rather damp and musty when we moved in November 2010. It needs complete cosmetic renovation as it is looking very dated, unfortunately most of the houses in the area have had any and all original features torn out in the early 80's which is a little sad in some ways but on the other hand it does give us pretty much free rein to decorate it in any style we like as the damage has already been done!
In the next few weeks I will add a list of jobs to be done and solutions to the problems we encounter along the way and hopefully a floor plan to give you an idea of the size of rooms we are dealing with (lets just call them petite shall we), the blog will have regular updates and hopefully lots of pics!
