Young mum transforms tired 1930s semi into monochrome dream home

A young mother who moved into an ordinary semi-detached home has turned it into an amazing family space, documenting the entire renovation online, making her a budding Instagram star.

The 1930s property changed hands in 2018, with Abbey Mercer, 27, embarking on a renovation two years on. Work included a large rear extension now housing a modern monochrome kitchen with dining and living space.

It also features a central island, vertical radiators, herringbone floors and bi-fold doors leading to the garden. Two skylights let natural light flood into the dining area. "We always knew we wanted to extend when we bought the house, but with three children aged three and under, we knew the sooner we did, the sooner our family could enjoy the benefits," Ms Mercer told the Liverpool Echo.
