Upppdates!

Here are some updates with what we've been  to...

I've filled in some of the cracks on the tiles with white putty. I need to stick the replacement tiles down and then give it a second clean then hopefully I can put the varnish stuff on! 

Nathan's been busy sorting out the dressing room today as we had the mdf delivered yesterday! We're going to have clothes rails underneath the shelves so we might order these now we know the size we will need! The mdf isn't attached yet, Nathan's just checking the size then we're going to take them down and paint them white. 

We've put a sneaky clock over where the vent used to be. Nathan filled the hole in but it was stil rough so we've put a clock over it!! 

The hanging baskets are looking quite nice. I put sweet peas in them and I wasn't sure how they would look but I like them! 

The Reclamation Yard!

We had a trip to the reclamation yard in Bridgend today called Theodore Sons & Daughters. I think we could have easily bought lots and we have lots of inspiration now! We will definitely be back! 

I don't even know what these green faces are but I want one now on the garden!! 

We got a few tiles for the hallway. We needed 1 black and 11 white ones! Unfortunately the white ones seem quite hard to find but we did get a couple. We also got some tiny tiles the same as the ones that are on the front of our house in a diamond near the roof! I'm going to see if I can dot them around instead of the white tiles it I might put them on a photo frame! 

Painting The Dressing Room

We've painted the small bedroom today, the colour hasn't show on the photos very well but it's a light pinky, purpley grey! It didn't take long to do at all! Nathan has taken the vent off (from when it used to be a kitchen from the upstairs flat), he's going to seal it up a bit then we will put a clock over it!! 

We got a new light and nathan changed the light switch and plug sockets.

We need to put some beading back around the edge of the floor. We've not decided whether to get a new floor. This one is Ok really but it is looking a bit well used.Nathan is planning the storage because this is the dressing room so we're going to put up shelves and rails and have the chest of drawers in there too!

New Things!

We got a new chimenea yesterday and a bench as well! :-)  Were slowly getting there with painting the fence but there's so many sections it takes about an hour per pannel!! 

New Windows

We've had the windows done this week and they look really nice! Here are some before and after photos!

I can't find "befores" for the ones below but here's the back bedroom window and then below is the new window in the lounge! 

More Updates And New Windows This Week!!

I've got a new copper plate to go on the wall above the bed in the front room! I've cleaned it up but it's still got a bit of green appearing so need to try and sort that out. I've also got a foot stool for the front bedroom to go woth the chair! 

He photos aren't very good because it was very dull but I've painted a big, black plastic photo fram with the blue annie sloane paint so it matches our side tables! We just need to sort out some photos for it now! 

We're getting new windows tomorrow and Wednesday in the bedrooms and the lounge!! The front bedroom is the worst at the moment, as you ca on see in the photo below we have stuffed the gap in the frame with tissue! The glass is also misted up. The new ones should make the road quieter and keep the house warmer! They're also making the dressing room window back to its original size so that should be bigger! 

Fence Painting

We've painted some of the garden fence this week! Nathan's done the majority of it and he's got a nice blister on his finger now! We've still got one side to go! We're going to paint the breeze blocks a dark grey colour because they look messy!

I bought a few plants today but need to decide where to put them in the garden! 

My sweet peas are going well! I've got a cone for them to grow up so hopefully they will look nice I'm the summer! 

Nathan's also out some shelves up in the utility room so it's looking much tidier in there now. We still need to sort out under the stairs though.
