　　四级-Conversation 2

　　Woman: Wow, congratulations, Simon! The place looks absolutely amazing!

　　Man: Really? You think so?

　　W: Of course. I love it. It looks like you had a professional interior designer. But you didn’t, did you?

　　M: No. I did it all by myself with a little help from my brother, Greg. He’s actually in the construction business, which was really helpful.

　　W: Honestly, I’m impressed! I know I can probably repaint the walls in my house over a weekend or something, but not a full renovation. Where did you get your ideas? I wouldn’t know where to start.

　　M: Well, for a while now, I’ve been regularly buying home design magazines. Every now and then, I’d saved the pictures I liked. Believe it or not, I have a full notebook of magazine pages. Since by overall style was quite minimal, I thought and hoped a whole renovation wouldn’t be too difficult. And sure enough, with Greg’s help, it was very achievable.

　　W: Wasn’t it expensive? I have imagined a project like this could be.

　　M: Actually, it was surprisingly affordable. I managed to sell a lot of my old furniture and put that extra money towards the new material. Greg was also able to get some discount materials from a recent project he was working on as well.

　　W: Great! If you don’t mind, I’d like to pick your brain a bit more. Johansson and I are thinking of renovating our sitting room, not the whole house, not yet anyway. And we’d love to get some inspiration from your experience. Are you free to come over for a coffee early next week?
