The fireplace before renovation. NORFOLK, UK: THIS FAMILY has revealed how they are creating their perfect home by converting a five bed Georgian farmhouse on an affordable L20k budget - including making lampshades out of CAT BEDS. Environmental policy consultant Mavourneen Conway (37) from Norfolk, UK, and husband Chris first tried their hands at home renovation when they added an extension onto their first house several years ago. With three boys - Ciaran (8), Liam (6) and Owen (6) - the couple decided to find somewhere with more space for them to grow up, so purchased a five-bedroom Georgian farmhouse in March 2021. Rolling up their sleeves, the family got to work on creating their dream home, with most furniture thrifted and upcycled. @oldhouse_newbeginnings/mediadrumimages
