It’s been another long while since my last update so I thought I’d give you “the news according to Kat”… I’m please to report that April has been a lot kinder to us than the nightmare of March was! What a relief. Seriously! April has been awesome – My Nana, Mum and I all seem […]
Renovating Weeks 6-8…
Wow have I been slack with blogging recently!!I guess that’s partly because we’ve been unpacking and just enjoying being in the house with no pressure to do anything, but it’s also because I felt like we hadn’t actually done anything the last few weeks either.But I was wrong. After looking back at what I’ve blogged about, […]
Home Sweet Home…
What a difference a week makes!!!

Renovating – Week 2… {The first proper peak}
It has been a crazy few weeks here in the Flutter household!I kind of feel like I’ve been sucked into a void away from the rest of the world. One that’s covered in plaster dust and paint splatters. Each day rolls into the other in a blur of sanding, scraping, painting, dealing with about 9 […]
