All Cosy Now

It has be a long year is some ways then in another it has flown by. We moved here last November and had a Christmas Tree in the lounge that still had the plaster on the walls that were the result of damp proofing.

No carpet, fireplace (was hoping for an open fire) or furniture that suited the cottage. It was also so cold we wore thermals and wrapped ourselves in quilts. Hubbie thought I was mad but there was no way I was not having a tree.

A year later and we have a lounge with carpet (cosy). The fireplace was purchased from online auction site stripped of four layers of paint. Hubbie opened up the old chimney.

The glass cabinet came from same place it was pine but now has a new set of legs and handles and is painted in Farrow & Ball Elephants Breath.

Have repainted various items and purchased few from Country Affair in Kinross which up-cycles furniture including my favourite cabinet (below) which has pride of place in our hall.

I have to admit to catching the up-cycling bug it really is enjoyable and suits the cottage so well.
