New sofas

Our new sofas were delivered yesterday. We've got one smaller linen one for in the bay window, which fits in very nicely, and a bigger, leather sofa bed for against the wall.

I gave the floor another coat of varnish the night before they arrived. We both lay on them last night and watched the South Africa vs Uruguay game.

New oven

We also had our new oven delivered this week, after the last one was disconnected as it was leaking gas.

Not really had a chance to use it yet, but its got to be better than the last one left here by the previous owner.

Stairway finished

The decorator finished the stairway this week. He's lined and painted the walls and ceiling, so were one more step closer to finishing the house.

We still need a banister and carpet the stairs, but we'll do that once the spare room is finished.

Stairway

We spent most of today architraving around the four stairway doors and beading the stairs. We have a decorator coming tomorrow to line, paint and cove the stairway walls as its too high and inaccessible for us to do. Looking forward to it being finished soon.

Lounge wallpaper

Finished wallpapering one of the lounge walls, just got to finish the chimney and then we'll be done. The painting is done too and we have sofas on order due to arrive soon. Just need to get the carpenter to make and install the shelves and we can finally sit and relax in it :-)

Radiators

We had a plumber come in yesterday to move two radiators in the house. The one above is in the lounge and has been moved from behind the door to along side the outside wall, do we can eventually mount the TV on the wall behind the door.

We also had the radiator in the spare room replaced with a smaller version and moved to under the window, so we can put another decorative fireplace in the chimney.

Lounge woodburner

We had our lounge woodburner installed yesterday. Too late for winter now (its 24 degrees here today) and it still needs to be smoke tested but at least its in now.
