{Tots 100 Homebase Makeover} The Final Results

I thought this was the project that was going to go on forever. Whatever could have gone wrong – well it did! The window and the massive crack – that crack isn’t filling no matter how much filler I throw at it.  Then some more plaster fell off around the window and made me realise [...]
