I watched 'The Help' for the zillionth time last night - the houses and lush backdrop never fail to inspire.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Hilly's kitchen below is sort of how I'd like ours to look; the colour is so pretty.</div>

Loving this retro kitchen (uncannily similar to how ours is now)...</div>

We bought our carpet off the roll at Carpetright - it was in the lowest price bracket, but I liked its wheaty colour and woven texture. We had a wooden dining table, chairs and coffee table and needed a neutral, natural-looking material to tie it together. Seeing the carpet go down was the most exciting thing yet; it instantly made the room feel warmer and less hollow.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
The dining table was a snip at 30 quid (from a charity shop), while the chairs were free (from a relative).</div>

We had it in our heads that the flat should be decorated in a way that fitted with the period of the building. I'd already lined up an extremely kitsch (vintage) drop leaf table for the kitchen, and our chequered floors were also a nod to the 50s. We ordered a button tub-style sofa to go with Billy's Mid-century buttoned armchair - the flat was finally coming together and becoming a home.</div>

When we first viewed the flat I said that the kitchen floor didn't really bother me that much; that we could give it a good clean, and it would be fine. That quickly changed. When I realised how easy it was to remove the faded, dirty old tiles, there was no stopping me, and they were gone in a jiffy.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Below you can see this lovely pile of them, crusted with baked beans and dust, which were under the (broken) stove. We fancied a classic chequered black and white floor, which one can do oneself very cheaply. Billy was the man to lay them down (with the slightly obsessive precision to be expected of a graphic designer).</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
The result can be seen here. We were thrilled - it was starting to finally resemble a kitchen (without any appliances, but still). It was clean! You could take off your shoes and dance around on the spanking new floor. And there was some sort of refuge from the surrounding chaos. Being able to grab a seat and have a cup of tea in there was just blissful.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
And finally, the bathroom, which got the same treatment. As it was such a filthy little space, we wanted to keep it as simple as possible, with a monochrome palette. We planned to carpet the living room, while the floorboards in the bedroom had to be enhanced with a couple of coats of paint.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Having a bathroom and a kitchen that were freshly clean was wonderful - but there was still so much more to do...</div>

Stripping the walls was probably one of the most exhausting and grim tasks. The wallpaper in the bathroom and kitchen was saturated with nicotine, and when we started to steam it there were trickles of brown water running down our arms and onto our feet.</div>
<div class="mceTemp" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">

It was also very satisfying, as I believe it was only with the wallpaper gone that the flat began to smell a little fresher. In the bathroom we removed shelves, a sticky towel rail and a toilet roll holder. We also took down a medicine cabinet, which revealed that the wallpaper had originally been a pleasing magnolia shade (this had, over the years, developed into a much deeper mustard).</div>

The first step was to get rid of as much as we possibly could. Me, Billy's mum and aunt arrived early in our work gear and, in a frenzy of activity, we started ripping up carpet from every room. We threw out curtains, blinds and dated bits of clutter like wall-mounted kitchen towel dispensers.</div>

We started, tentatively, to clean - though knowing where (or how) to start was certainly a struggle. As the weather was on our side, we were able to open every single window, in a bid to clear out the build up of smoke-stink.</div>

I am pasting everything from my Wordpress blog here (partly because I just cannot get a hang of Wordpress). So here goes - this is the story of our flat, which we renovated last Spring and are just enjoying now.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
<a data-mce-href="http://oldlondonroadproject.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/img_1917.jpg" href="http://oldlondonroadproject.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/img_1917.jpg"><img alt="Our living room" class="wp-image-9 size-large" data-mce-src="http://oldlondonroadproject.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/img_1917.jpg?w=640" height="426" src="http://oldlondonroadproject.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/img_1917.jpg?w=640" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Stained by years of heavy smoking, the walls, ceilings and carpets were foul and reeking. Deeply unwelcoming, the flat was dank and dark on entering, with crusty curtains framing sticky yellow windows.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
I found it hard to hide my revulsion (it was like something out of How Clean is your House), but I'm so glad that we were able to see past the grot to the positives - this was a good sized flat with two floors, two bedrooms and loads of storage space. The best thing? We could do whatever we wanted to it. Compared with the flat we lost (in which we would not have been allowed to sing or light a candle, according to our tenancy agreement), here we had total freedom.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
<a data-mce-href="http://oldlondonroadproject.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/img_1928.jpg" href="http://oldlondonroadproject.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/img_1928.jpg"><img alt="Our kitchen" class="alignnone wp-image-11 size-large" data-mce-src="http://oldlondonroadproject.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/img_1928.jpg?w=640" height="426" src="http://oldlondonroadproject.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/img_1928.jpg?w=640" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
The kitchen and bathroom presented the biggest problems. There was no stove, fridge, freezer etc - it was a bare shell. The shower and taps didn't work and the toilet hadn't seen a brush or bleach for at least a decade.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Working freelance as a stylist's assistant, I had the time to take on this beast, starting with a day of stripping all carpets and beginning to tackle years of dirt.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
These images, I hope, serve to show what we were (rather courageously) taking on. So just watch this space for the next instalment...</div>

Here are some pics from my new favorite magazine, Anthology.<br />
<br />
It's an American publication so not the easiest to get hold of, but well worth a look if possible. This cool Cape Cod house belongs to artist John Derian, and I bloody love this shot above of the dark green cabinet and delicate white ceramics.<br />

I could bang on endlessly about how much I love Anthropologie - I think with our notoriously unpredictable and often disappointing climate, it is uplifting to be surrounded by punchy colours.

The products I've included come mostly from one of my favourite shops, Anthropologie - I wanted to pick out zingy tones of yellow.
