I recently decided to redecorate my flat and that is making a fair dent in my savings.

What did you do to redecorate? New furniture or remodeling?
What is considered a flat in Australia?
Well, it's not a flat but a two bedroom, two storey townhouse, in the centre of town - great location - good and solid - nothing wrong with the place - excellent value for money considering the other places available in the area.
As for re-decorating, I didn't do anything major. I can't do too much as it is a rental. Just bought a new sewing machine and made new cushions and curtains. I have a good solid lounge so I am not going to do anything with that except re-upholster it. I have invested a fair bit in some really nice wall hangings/pictures. Bought new lamps, kitchen stuff, etc. I sanded down my kitchen table and re-laquered that. I want a small water feature but the ones that I like are between $1500 - $3000 for a very small unit and I struggle to part with that sort of money. I am hoping to make one soon when I have some time and some energy.
It's a work in progress.
