Welcome to my very first post dedicated to my favourite new thing in the whole wide world… My house. I love it. It’s absolutely amazing. I love it so much, I can’t stop looking at it.

Granted, it took a little TLC (long, loooong days and nights, three tins of primer and 40 litres of white paint) to get the living areas, WC and master bedroom all fixed up - ciao forever, dark beige, brown and peach walls (WTF were the previous owners thinking?!) - and now I have just the hallways, laundry, bathroom and spare bedrooms left to redecorate.

The only thing about buying your first home is that you don't really have that much to put in it. What may have been a good lorry load and 271 car trips between suburbs actually didn't seem to go that far - and there were still some obvious gaps in the vision for Chez Katie. And so I took to Gumtree... which is when I stumbled across Gogo Furniture.
