Hi Livvy,

welcome to UHM.

I'd start at the top and work downwards.

How big is the house?

ok its a 4 bedroomed house ensuite to master bedroom and very large bathroom downstairs lounge dinning room family room kitchen toilet and a very big garage, which I would love to convert into a room.

The house is 1930ish

As long as no other work needs doing and it is just redecorating then it should not be too difficult. It becomes a nightmare though when you remove the wall paper and realise that all the walls in the house need replastering

Hopefully your walls will be ok, there are some helpful people on here for when (if) you get stuck

Yeah,
Start one room at a time and turn the garage into your 'dirt' room.
All cutting mixing if you can be bothered is in the garage, it'll help reduce the mess, yes there will be mess, always is.

Ask here for tips or advice, they're a good bunch, strange but in their own way good.

Oh and that's not my bottom, either.

anyhoo I want the bathroom ripped out, and the kitchen me thinks big projects, the walls are just painted atm so look ok, the carpets are to be ripped up and wood flooring laid, no my prob the kitchen has quarrey tiles down that are a bit dated so how the hell do I do that
