An update on the kitchen

The flooring was done last week and it looks so much warmer now. When I took this picture, only the undercoat had been put on the walls. We're in the process of finishing the painting. We really love this room and have already had some friends round for a bit of dinner. It is great to cook in and we can easily spend the evening chatting at our borrowed kitchen table.

This one is for mum

Here are the curtains you made us. We haven't exactly done them justice with the hanging but at least I'm certain that they'll stay up. Yet to finish off the hems but they'll get done some time. We're really pleased with them and they look great with the furniture. Thanks!

We're in!

After an exhausting Sunday lugging the bed (in bits) to the house and a few car trips, we've moved in. Could have really done with a lie in this morning as I now have muscles where I have never had them before.

It's taken over four months to get to this stage. The house is far from finished but now we're in there, it'll be easier to work in the evenings. I'm not sure how much I'll update this blog now for two reasons. I haven't yet moved the computer in and for security reasons, it's not a great idea to have a all of a furnished house displayed on the web.

A real house!

I'm amazed, at last it is actually looking like somewhere we can move into. Over the last week so much has been done.

We've almost finished painting in the living room (it looks a bit pink here but isn't) and the fireplace was fitted yesterday so we'll soon be able to have open fires. Some chairs would be good but we have some great floor cushions that my Mum made.

The gorgeous bedroom furniture has arrived but we've not moved them into place yet.

We now have a kitchen sink after months without one.
