Our house...

I guess the price you pay for two quick updates last month, is the 6 week wait for the next one !

Well, we've not been sitting around doing nothing in those weeks ! We've signed everything over to us now so the house is ours, and we are just waiting for the first mortgage payment to come out.

Painting is still underway. Most of downstairs is done, we just have the kitchen, utility and conservatory to do. We've at least got the paint bought for it all though !

Upstairs we've finished the landing and the two main bedrooms. The two girls' rooms are still underway though. I'm beginning to rue the day I suggested a green stripe now ! Charlotte & Amalie's room is now very nearly done, just needs some touching up.




The yellow stuff is the low stick masking tape. If you only knew half of the grief that stuff has given me.... A second coat of green has since been applied to this room.

Sophie and Erin's room is much the same with a second coat of green all that is required there.
The two en-suites are almost done now as well.
The latest major development is on the floor front. We've got wood (laminate) down in the two sitting rooms, hall and conservatory which is really making start to look finished !

Here you can see the floor going down in the smaller sitting room. This has now been completed as of last night.
Going forward, we've still to finish painting the two ensuites and then move down to paint the kitchen, conservatory and utility. Whilst this is going on, we'll get some carpet ordered for upstairs. We have it picked out already so it's just a case of ordering and arranging fitting.
Look out for more updates.....
