Any major project needs minor milestones to keep you going.  With an entire house to makeover we needed to come up with our plan and a timescale for completion:

September 19th- Phase One- New Master Bedroom (£300)
Clear out the current spare bedroom and paint
Move Master current bed and ottoman into room
Purchase new Wardrobes and dresser from Ikea
Purchase new art from Ikea

November 1st- Phase 2- His/Her office and Spare Bedroom (£300)

December 10th- Phase 3- Living Room (£600)

February 15th- Phase 4- New WC, Dining Room, Laminate Floors (£1000)

April 15th- Phase 5- New boiler and repaint the upstairs bathroom (£900)

So there you have it... a full house update for £3100... Stay tuned for the updates and many adventures ahead
