Home and garden posts –
This blog came about through a savings project – we were saving a deposit to buy our first home together.
We bought our fixer-upper house in 2015 and renovated it ourselves on a tight budget, selling it on two years later.
It hasn’t been easy, doing it ourselves, but many people will be in the same situation as us, and we’d like to help. Read about our thrifty redecorating story and see how we made a home out of a very humble house on the tightest of budgets!

Here are a few of my posts about horticulture and gardening. If you like being bored by pictures of orchids, you’ll probably like my Instagram!
