Having outgrown their rental apartment Linda and Gavin were more than ready to buy their own home, they started their search in an area on the outskirts of Limerick where Gavin grew up. ‘We had been renting for some time and were keen to get onto the property ladder, we wanted to be in an area that we knew and that had good schools with easy access to the city centre,’ says Linda.
Back in 2014, the couple found a house that was the perfect size and in the ideal location. Painted in a mix of sage and tan the house did need updating, but having been stretched financially with the purchase of the property, they had to take their time with any work they decided to do on the house. ‘As we had lived in rental accommodation for so long we had never really done much decorating and weren’t really sure of our style,’ says Linda. ‘We both knew we needed to do something creative to the house to give it a more on-trend and colourful interior,’ says Linda. The first room the couple decided to decorate was the master bedroom, ‘we played it safe in here with muted tones introducing colours with accessories and artwork, this gave us a good insight into our style which we have built on as we have done more work to the house. We have definitely bought in more colour as we got more confident,’ explains Linda.
