Interior design.
Plus, the knack for stretching the budget slightly too.
This is plainly evident when she tackled the front room.
Sparse and uninviting, she managed to grab some fabric from a sale nearby, and rather than throw out/sell the hideous chairs, she set about recovering them. She also discovered some matching wallpaper and used that to cover over those yucky grey walls.
As there wasn't quite enough fabric for the curtains, she had to improvise slightly, and, with a few tweaks here and there....
Ta daaa!!!
A living room worth sitting in, as modelled so generously by Ambrose himself.
Doesn't he look 'at home' now? Methinks that Ginny has a great opportunity to be an Interior Designer. Provided she applies herself that is. For now, she wishes to join the Police Force. I'm pretty sure Ambrose will talk her out of that one.
The two of them tackled the kitchen. Ripping up the floor and retiling it, retiling the walls and removing those really horrendous mosaic worktops and adding some black granite ones instead. With a few little 'touches' here and there, it's starting to look like a real home for them now.
They kept to their budget as much as possible, but, the burglar alarm took a great big chunk out of their savings. So any thoughts and ideas on redecorating the rest of the house will just have to wait until either one or both of them get a job.
Speaking of which, whilst Ginny struggled to make her 'world famous' waffles (and trying her hardest not to burn them in the process).....
... Ambrose sat outside in their garden and took the opportunity to search the papers for a job.
His Lifetime Wish was to be a surgeon, so he hoped that there was a slot for him at the hospital.
And luckily for him, there was. Although it wasn't exactly what he'd had in mind.
Organ Donor.
Let's hope he doesn't donate any 'valuable' organs here.
