Here is a picture of the bathroom with all of the normal things which one would have in their bathroom. It just looks much less attractive in my opinion.... that's why I would always suggest ruthlessly hiding your personal effects away. Unless they are 'display worthy'... keep them out of sight.

The tenants who lived in the home had it set up much the same as we had, but by just removing one of the big couches and using glass furniture with a basic colour scheme... the room appeared bigger and more relaxing.

Kitchen Before Decluttering

Wow.... what a difference from the original pinky purple bath tub. Simple and practical.

I really enjoyed putting the second room together. I tried to keep to neutral tones, even though this room clearly would be ideal for a young boy. The bamboo ladder was picked up for $20, the bed $55 from Tender Disposals, and the bird cage (not visible at this angle) was around $50 on ebay. Just proof that careful selection can overcome a tight budget. The bear was my sons first gift from his Grandma & Grandpa. Gorgeous!

Another picture of the loungeroom.... standing as far in the corner as possible for the photo, provides the best chance of the room appearing more spacious.

The master bedroom... complete with our master bed. We are currently sleeping on the fold out sofa bed whilst we await the settlement of the home. I miss this bed. Simple... but much better than the bare room it had been.

No I didn't steal my sons cot for this room... it was a spare we purchased from ebay. A lick of fresh white paint, and a few thoughtfully placed items... and... voila!

A few simple items make a room look inviting. It's no Vogue Living, but I liked it.

OK... so you can tell by this photo that the laundry never got much spent on it. But nonetheless, a well placed hand towel and an attractive basket make a slight improvement.

This picture is no good for a real estate web site. Too artistic and showing furniture rather than the space. But I love it because my honey took it. Thanks babe!

Making the most of a small room. Simple furniture, cohesive colours, and defined areas. Not bad for just using what little we had.

The token study... everyone needs one... but just where are they meant to go in a small three bedroom home???

The loungeroom looks a little different to when it was purchased. Glass furniture goes a long way towards visually expanding a small area.

The kitchen. A vast improvement on the original!!!

As we had never installed a rear pergola, Glen put up a very simple shade sail. It was more of a token gesture, but it at least looks like someone 'loves the home'.

Glen built and rendered this wall... I was very impressed. The little nook was created as a space for a little bench seat.

Even thought the side of the home is pretty unattractive, Glen took a good picture of it. Thanks honey!

Ahh the roof... after spending $3000 on restoration with Modern roofing, all I have is this photo.

Glen takes a good photo... even if he does have to get into the garden to do so!
