It's what dreams are made of and nightmares kindled: Most home owners aspire to it; some take a few tentative steps and fewer still are crazy enough to go the full hog! This blog shares some of the trials and tribulations of a major redevelopment of a 1950s home through a cataclysmic transformation which retains the best of the last Century while metamorposing the property into a design classic fit for today's living.

Start -1 day

We're done! Garages are empty. Utility is empty. Everywhere else is not! We've tried keeping the disruption confined to a couple of rooms (dining room and attic) and so far it's working OK. The first sign of upheaval, however, came when we had to relocate the tumbledrier to the kitchen. Tiny kitchen now feels microscopic. Off came one of the wall cupboards and out popped the original yellow and black tiles. Nice!

It's time to dig out my shiny new hard hat. Roll-on Monday!
