Last week’s progress

We decided to have a frame built in the main bedroom so that we can fit mirrored sliding doors. We are so happy with the frame, it looks much better! The carpets were fitted on Friday!!!!!! Sadly the carpet fitters must have stuck a staple or nail through a wire though because the lights upstairs

Updates

I thought now would be a good time to do some before and afters to see how far we have come! We had our worktops and splashback fitted which look incredible, we are so happy with them! I also got a grey pumpkin to match the colour scheme – orange would just not do 😂

It’s all coming together!

The past week has been so exciting, seeing the kitchen come together! Most of it is now in place, just the handles, hob, tap and lighting fascias remaining, which will be done once the worktop and splashback are fitted next week. The doors are now all hung and looking great, we just need to paint

Getting there!

Lots has happened over the past couple of weeks! The engineered wood flooring was laid throughout downstairs and the office – it looks amazing, we are so happy with it! The skirting and architrave has also been fitted throughout the house, we went for a 56mm angled shape, which flows really nicely from skirting, round

Painting complete!

Yay!! After 6 days of constant painting I’ve finished all of the walls!! We only needed 5 and a bit tins of the Farrow and Ball paint so we have some left over for touching up and areas after the kitchen installation, furniture deliveries etc Time for a progress check I think….. It’s so good

A productive 3 days!

So over the past 3 days I’ve completed the 1st coat of Cornforth White on the walls 🥳 I’m pretty impressed with my cutting in, I think it looks pretty good? I bought some low tack masking tape to help me get a straight line, but it pulled the paint off the ceiling so I

110 litres of white paint!

On 12th August I finally painted the last of the white paint! I did 2 coats of bare plaster paint on all walls & ceilings, then 2 coats of white paint on the ceilings & the 2nd staircase. The Leyland white paint I bought wasn’t very good quality, the coverage was terrible so I had

The Pink Stuff & more decisions made

A week ago I discovered an actual miracle paste called the pink stuff. It’s absolutely amazing. I needed something to clean the upvc window frames & the pink stuff was recommended in an article I stumbled across on Google… Here are some before & afters of a quick clean… We also realised that our move
