I have had a number of requests for more pictures of the house. My battery was flat on my ‘good’ camera, so I have done the best I could on my ‘little’ camera. Not that good for lighting, but it will give you an idea. I guess it didn’t help that I was taking the pictures on the most grim, grey day. (Like most of our days have been this summer! Today is a whopping 17 degrees – the warmest in days!)
The kitchen is just about finished. They still have to fiddle with some upstands on the granite and fix a kickboard after which the painter will give it a final lick of paint …
The hallway below was also a bit dark due to the weather …
The mirrors, which are currently propped up against the walls, will be hung quite soon.
I think something that is quite evident althroughout the house is the lack of art. But don’t fear, we have a plan. I am trying to get hold of traditional picture rail hooks and bars to hang all the pictures. Currently we have:
Our en-suite bathroom only needs a set of doors, which my carpenter will be making in the near future. But I love it, I love it, I love it!
The shower is big enough to bath an entire family at the same time (if one had enough water pressure!)
The guest bedroom is currently just a mix of ‘left-overs’ from the rest of the house. The bed belongs to Lisa, but we’ll get to that eventually.
This is the sunniest room in the house, so I would like to put a chaise long in front of the window – perfect for reading and watching the world go by.
I have made use of ghost chairs in many of the rooms. Look at the picture above – you can barely see the chair on the photograph. I think if this chair could fit into my mother’s luggage, she would have nicked it!
I think something that is quite evident althroughout the house is the lack of art. But don’t fear, we have a plan. I am trying to get hold of traditional picture rail hooks and bars to hang all the pictures. Currently we have:
8 framed old-fashioned post cards,
4 pictures I painted (temporary art!),
3 framed photographs
2 large mirrors
1 smaller mirror
.. all which needs to be hung.
