Week 12 - A splash of colour & some tiles

This week feels like it has literally dissappeared.  The house is not finished but after what seemed like slow progress all week, tonight after clearing out some of the rubbish and washing some of the dusty floors I actually felt like we are getting there.  Our goal now is to finish the upstairs so that we can get the carpet fitted before the bed arrives so that we can finally sleep in it!! So this weekend and next week will more than likely be painting every night again in a last dash to get it ready for mr carpet man.

The kitchen has a few more bits done, jays dad is going to fit the oven for us soon.  We did however have a small disaster last sunday night when we popped over to find water leaking out of our ceiling and dripping down the kitchen wall.  Unfortunatley the plumber has been back in and can't seem to find a leak anywhere...so tonight we have left the heating going full pelt to see if it happens again.  So that is still a bit of a problem.  This is what the kitchen looks like now it has been tiled :o)

The bathroom has also been tiled and am really pleased with it! We will have the plumber back for one more day next week to finish the bath, fit the shower, screen and panel and that will be it, the bulders will be no more.  So really it's all up to us now to jump the final hurdle.

Our first splash of colour! Soooo nice to see some colour am fed up with painting everything white, although it looks so clean and bright.  We went for a dark midnight blue on our bedroom chimney breast! The bedroom is now pretty much fininshed, I've even painted the skirtings and the door so once the carpets it'll be the first room to be complete, hoorah!

Tommorrow Jenny is coming to help me with yet more painting, lets see how much we can get done...
