Personal thoughts:
Seeing the mess our child has made of this awful awful house in the four months we’ve been here has definitely put me off doing anything too nice to it for the foreseeable, as much as I physically feel the need to do so as I walk around the place. Doubly so due to our impending second hit. Well all those reasons and the crippling poverty the place and nursery fees have put us in.
But follow-on question is ‘if not now, when?’. When is it ‘safe’ to do it? The longer you wait the less value you get from it, and I can’t imagine 2 kids under ten are any more gentle than the one 18 month old we’ve got, and I’m not sure I can tolerate the compromises this place has for a decade.
TL; DR: goodbye HM and Dinesen, hello IKEA and laminate and fml.

We’re kicking off our renovation in the new year as previously mentioned.
We’re also a few weeks out from having our first child.
How badly are they going to fuck up the Dinesen Douglas fir flooring/staircase I’ve been eyeing up? should I just go for slightly more practical stuff?
