...Week Nineteen...

hallway BEFORE decoration started
-- I've decided not to blog every day about the refurb. but to do a weekly round-up --


The kitchen is finished - well almost - all but a couple of gorgeous red skittle lamps that Dave still has to wire in, but that's all. The decorating is completed, the oven and ceramic hob have been installed and look really great...so much better than what was there, I can tell you... and the original 1950's quarry tiled floor has been restored with Nitromore.


This week Dave's been ploughing ahead with the refurbishment of the hallway. The walls are all stripped of the horrid wallpaper (I helped with that - well a little!) and he's already erected the coving and picture rail. He's rubbed down all the woodwork and as we speak is putting the first coat of emulsion on the ceiling - so it's really taking shape quickly - we're having wallpaper in there, but will be painting it a lovely neutral beige colour as it's quite a dark space.


ME ;0)
