Comfy Sleeps

The bedrooms are all finished.

It's comfortable and clean under foot.

Onwards to the next part

Removal of staircase wall in preparation of new banister and spindles going in

A lot of wallpaper stripping first though

Bit of a busy & bling week

I don't usually do serious bling things but totally fell for this light fitting from BHS's Vintage range

The metal parts are dark grey a wee bit of a change from chrome

Damp proofing laid

Flooring laid

A bit of faffing today.... Not quite finished. Can't quite decide what colour to paint the fireplace. Also waiting on the marble hearth being delivered. New curtains will be made this week too.

Poor hubbies knees (ouch) this was the first of two floors laid. He did our bedroom too. Will share pictures later as I've still to decide on curtains. We have a serious lack of curtains as our previous house had velux windows in the bedrooms. This week will be fitting floor in the spare bedroom and a bit of faffing to make it pretty.

Post Box Wall

The girlie is growing up so quickly. Aged 11 she is taller than her mum, gran and auntie.

Re-vamped bedroom. The girlie asked if she could have a bigger bed.

So around 9 hours divided over 2 days look at what gran & grandad did.

Tv on the wall, no cabin bed, no more turquoise walls, emoji bedding oh and a red wall.

All things that we know she would love but there was no way she would ask for.

The delight on her face when she first saw the room was being painted was fab.

The delight at the finished result was captured in photo.

The thank you cuddle was priceless

Turned out nice again.....

Now that sentence is usually associated with fine weather

Nae chance here. I can't remember the last time it has rained so much.

It is also far too mild I swear our grass is growing.

I long for crisp clear mornings with the first snowdrops popping through

Anyway I digress

Remember these

Couple of coats of Annie Sloan paint and waxed

A result I am so pleased with
