Emma 1FiveOne
1FiveOne is owned and maintained by journalist Emma and it features many pictures from her home renovation project, which has seen her completely gut a former squat and turn it into the kind of beautiful modern home that many of us dream about owning.
The transformation along the way is great to watch and we highly recommend scrolling through some of the early posts from 1FiveOne to see the journey Emma went through.
Our favourite post is from 6th October 2017; it shows some of the ‘before’ pictures, which includes the graffiti that was left on the walls by previous ‘tenants’, or rather, squatters.
