How I am Planning on Brightening up my Kitchen

*Collaborative Post

We’ve been living in our current home for almost 7 years now and I have decided it is time for some changes. When we moved in, it was a blank canvas. It had previously been a showhome and the owner before us only lived here for 2 years before choosing to move on. She hadn’t touched the standard magnolia walls or cream carpets so even though it was completely liveable it lacked personality.

Review: Shark DuoClean Vs Dyson V6

*Gifted Products

I am a clean freak, I can happily admit this although since having children I’ve had to let things slide a little… ok, a lot more. I now find cleaning to be a task that has to be planned, that takes the whole week and that has to be pretty quick. Long gone are the days where I spent an entire day cleaning my home from top to bottom and even though I don’t miss spending my days doing this I do miss how clean my home was each week.

Adding Value To Your Home

*Collaborative Post

Our home is the biggest investment we will ever make. It is the home which we live in, nurture, bring our family up in and where we spend a huge chunk of our lives. A home is a great investment to have because the long-term return can be great if that property has been worked on and the market inflates. If you don’t currently think of your home as a way to make some extra money, you should start now. Even if you don’t plan on selling up and moving out just yet, one day the time might come where you need to upsize due to a larger family or downsize when the kids fly the nest. It will be at this point that all of your hard work will pay off or be a waste of time.
