Home Makeover!

Since deciding to stay in Polokwane, as an incentive, I made myself a few promises! One of them was to try and make my flat a little more homely. The school, thankfully agreed to buy the paint and other materials and we went mad with Sonja, my supervisor behind all the excellent ideas. Very kind friends of mine from church (Anet & Bazil) organized the painting and one of their friends, Gert very kindly did the painting and a lot of fixing up while I was away for my brother's wedding! But before I left, Sonja and myself had some of the handymen from the school remount the counter which used to be an island and place it under the window, thus giving me so much more space! I hope this photo gives an idea of the changes. We even fixed up the cupboards and had new handles and hinges mounted.
I really needed a new desk, my old one was nearly 20 years old, falling apart and really didn't suit my new look! Sonja "happened" to see the perfect desk for me. It was on special and selling at a very good price! Sonja enjoyed kindly putting the desk together for me!
I am really happy with this desk!
Sorry for the poor quality photo's, yours truly took them!
After two weeks of firstly clearing the flat out for the painters and then, this week putting everything back, though tired, I am very thankful for all the help and very happy with the end result!

That looks great Debbie. Your place must feel twice the size (that counter was really big). Enjoy it.
