Recently watching a lot of HGTV, and favorite series Fixer Upper,   unfortunately already ended with season 5. Designer Joanna Gaines and her husband Chip, constructor, took the worst houses in Waco Texas, sometimes completely ruined, that cost even from £10000, and transformed them into clients dream houses.

The final effect was always stunning.  They were building fireplaces, opening the kitchens and dining areas,   doing the exteriors, new large windows,  french doors and much more. Designer Joanna Gaines always added character and charm into every space and house she designed.

Here are inspirational images from the series and from their website Magnolia.com, also a blog by Joanna Gaines.

Anyone looking for an apartment in London, hoping to own a first home, came across the “shared ownership” option. This is a quite new scheme, that allows you to buy a property only for about 25% of it’s value. So they are part-own, part-rent, quite affordable apartments, the mortgage is not as high as usually required for a property. But there could be some limitations, other costs, e.g service charges, which are not always fixed.

Anyway, the apartments are brand new, ready to move in, with sleek modern design. Kitchens and bathrooms are finished to the highest standard.

Inspirational images are from these two websites.
