Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
Your home protects you from the elements, keeps you and your family safe and warm, and is where you spend your most relaxing moments. Of course, that means now and again your home will need a little makeover to keep looking its best. Something you can read all about in the post below.
Some of you may know that earlier this year, we bought a house and had it renovated which included the windows and garden. We have now been living in our home for just over a week, and I’ve turned my attention to my office!

Currently, it is a dumping ground for all our belongings!
Day to day, few of us consider the value of our house. When we’re on the lookout for a new property, the cost is one of the first things that we consider.

You don’t believe that this is something that you need to consider if you’ve got no intention of selling anytime soon.
Earlier this year, we bought an old property that required a lot of renovation. It was very daunting, especially when the surveyor came back with a number of things to be fixed.

I have not had any experience of choosing a window company before so I asked around online but no one was able to help. Nevertheless, I found Windows4You due to a Facebook competition I had entered during the Christmas period. I contracted them and within days, they came to measure up the windows. As part of the work, we also decided to change our front and back doors and the sliding door to a bifold door.
