New House New Blog! The DIY begins...

So here I am... a self-taught, Interior Design school educated, frugal like you've never seen, Do-It-Yourselfer, with a brand new house (when I say brand new I mean to myself and my husband)! Being the interior designer that I am I knew I never wanted to live in a brand new, cookie cutter, beige house with zero personality, thus we bought a 39 year old fixer upper. And a fixer upper it is! Let me explain... Being a proud Kijiji addict I was cruising one late night when I stumbled across the house of our dreams. Two storey 15 hundred square feet, south facing yard backing on to a park. What more could we ask for?
