Getting the Most out of a Home and Garden

My name is Sandy and this is my new home and garden blog. When I moved into my dream home in the suburbs of Sydney, I knew that I wanted to make the most of it. The house was a 6 bedroom masterpiece with a large garden and pool. Although it was in a great location, the property itself was a little run down. I called in a couple of contractors who helped me to tidy up the garden area and the pool. The contractors also gave me some great tips. Next, I started work on the interior of the place and installed a new kitchen and bathroom. I hope you like my blog.
