My Victorian Home Renovation - The journey from rented, to our first owned home
Growing up, many young girls fantasise about their perfect fairytale wedding day; the dress, the cake, the venue… but my dream was always to own my own home, actually, it was to own a Victorian home with beautiful period features.

With flexible working becoming more opportune, and in a lot of cases mandatory since the Covid outbreak, we’ve had to evaluate how and where we set up our work stations each day in order to concentrate, be comfortable and most importantly, able to disconnect from it all when ‘leaving work’.
