STEP INSIDE...
WHO LIVES HERE? I’m Laura
Deller, 36, a science teacher, on Instagram @houseproject_36, and I live with my husband,
Chris, 38, a head teacher, and our children, Poppy, five, and Max, who is three. Our home is a fourbedroom, detached 1970s house in Bromham, Bedfordshire.
WHAT WAS UPDATED? We converted a small, spare bedroom into an en suite. Then we fitted large wardrobes in the bedroom, and I tried my hand at DIY panelling on the wall.
WHY THE CHANGE? The boiler and water tank were in the main bedroom, so moving those was essential, and we ‘stole’ a bedroom to give us our own bathroom.
HOW LONG DID IT TAKE? Fitting the en suite and decorating the bedroom only took about a month. But it took a year to finish because we used funds for the wardrobe doors to decorate the living room.
