Photo of the Day:
Our house really does look like a tip now - can hardly get in the lounge as I have moved a load of stuff from the bedroom into it to clear some more space for hubby so he can strip some more walls.
Because the walls are so uneven we are going to have to wallpaper instead of paint. I have hung a couple of samples up. The one on the left is embossed, the one on the right isn't, but perhaps the bumps in the wall wouldn't be so obvious with that because of the patterning? Not sure yet which we prefer...the one on the right, although having a darker background does reflect the light.
Both feature roses, which seems rather appropriate.
We had the flooring people out today and it wouldn't really be suitable to have a wooden or laminate floor put down due to the curved bay window and again the unevenness of the floor, so looks like we will have to have carpet after all. He has measured up so when we go and choose a carpet we will be able to find out the cost straight away.
It was a beautiful morning today and it has been a lovely day, although I have felt very much out of sorts...for a number of reasons (including worrying about my Mum and Dad) ...and also because the mess is completely overwhelming me. Still I just have to remind myself that progress is being made. The car boot is loaded up with some stuff to take to the Charity Shop, so will hopefully do that tomorrow.
Have a good week!

Love the one on the left.
ReplyDeleteLove the way the light reflects on the wallpaper on the right.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the work
Always hard moving things around whilst working but it will all be worth it in the end.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to feel calm and patient when living in a mess and renovating always seems to make a mess. Hopefully very soon you'll see the end product.
