Humble Beginnings.....

Before

We were completely unaware of exactly how much of change we were in for when we relocated to the UK in 2005 from Canada.  That same year we purchased a house in SW London; mainly because it was very affordable price. We had no credit and it was proving impossible to get a mortgage, but with a healthy down payment and a bit of luck we managed to secure a "2up2down" 600 square foot terrace house in desperate need of repair....the rest is history. The plan was to move in a year or so but as we started to make it our own we realized that we actually loved with our little house.  As tiny as it was we were determined to make it home. I never believed that you could furnish a house that reflects the true essence of who you are in a weekend.  So I've devoted and continue to devote  a lot of time to finding things that "fit" not only into the small spaces, but into our lives. A very small space must be thought out properly or you could end up with a space that is cramped and feels suffocating.
