Update from the Francis wing










I did promise some pictures of my 'accident' with the paint so here they are, I think it says "Welcome to your new home" rather well.

Anyway, the recent decorating has gone well although there has not been much time for it as we have been pretty busy with guests.

Prior to Ruth, Bethan and Toby coming up we also had my friends Paul, Jasmine and their little girl Millie visit which was loads of fun.

So...decorating progress. Joe and I are fortunate enough to have the top floor of the house to ourselves which has 4 rooms and a bathroom.

Our bedroom is finished, living room and guest rooms are pretty much there but my office and the hallway are still bombsites. The bathroom has arrived and is sitting in the hallway so generally it is a bit of a mess!

I am however very pleased with myself as so far, I have learnt how to wallpaper and use an industrial floor sander. The latter is rather exhausting but worth it as once varnished, the floor boards look great!

So this is bedroom 1. The before photo doesn't show the wallpaper in it's true light, very floral and woodchip on the ceiling.

























More to follow when I get around to taking them!
Oh and BT finally connected our phone line and the internet will be up and running on the 10th - WOOHOO!!!
