Album description:
Collages of home for the last 5yr...a 1950's very solid semi in need of an up date when l moved in after my divorce it had a bare patch for a garden so designed and built it in 3 weeks with my new partner over the 1st Easter in the house
Almost all of down stairs has been re plastered and a large conservatory added
bit of a mover of furniture so rooms change depending on the time of year or just because l feel like a change
House had reasonable sized rooms and a fair garden bigger than anything else l looked at...lots of love and DIY later we are about to move to a 3bedroom detached house in Shrewsbury
So starting all over again but with not quite so much to do to this new one

Love your Style and use of colour. Do you make the butterfly pictures to sell? Lori xx
Bakewell responded 2010-03-17:
Hi Lori....not really l could send you the butterfly print to cut out and the frame is just a wall sticker that you can buy lots of places that just sticks to the wall and peals off again easily and the butterflies are just a few minutes to cut out...my crafting for sale days are long gone l just do things for myself and friends birthdays these days lol

mrsR, 2010-03-05
Beautiful home, looking forward to seeing more pics of your new home as well!-)
Bakewell responded 2010-03-06:
Thanks mrsR...bit sad to leave it but we needed more outside space....was the 2 story double garage that sold the new house to us really
OH bought a classic VW Camper so garage and drive was needed although there is more space in the house too so we are both happy
Will add a new album for the new house as soon as we move in and start with the fun playtime..beginning to mid April fingers crossed
