Window Seat

Finally got the carpenter in after numerous delays by the decorator to build our dining room window seat.

We are both very happy with the final product as you can see below. Got some new software for my phone so I can upload more than one picture and show you the whole process.

The seats on both sides lift up so we can use them for storage. We'll cover it in foam padding and then have multiple cushions for behind your back. Still got to get a blind for the window!

Update: These will be the seats on one side of the dining table which we also still need to get!

Dining Room: Day Four

Almost done, I think he has some final coats to do on the woodwork and under the stairs but very happy with the sage green on the chimney and how the room has come together.

Dining Room: Day Two

The roof and above the picture rail have both been lined today. The coving has also been done. The decorator is coming along nicely and is hoping to be done by Tuesday, so there will be a couple more updates.

Dining Room: Day One

It's been a long time since the last post. The decorator has finally started after fracturing his arm in December. We were pushed back again after he started his other jobs late. Anyway, he's here now and has started preparing the walls for lining and painting the room. The should be a few updates over the next few days as he finishes off the room.

Lounge blinds

Finally got the blinds up in the lounge tonight too. Started last night drilling holes but thought it was a bit noisy at 11pm so stopped until this evening.

We're both pretty happy with how they've turned out, though they could probably do with a steaming.

One step closer...

Dining room update

Just to update you all, the decorating in the dining room has been put on hold until January as the decorator slipped in the snow and fractured his arm :(

Bedroom blind

Just finished putting up the blind in our bedroom. I thought it was going to be a bit of a nightmare to line up the holes in the wood with the holes in the wall but Lu came up with a good idea and it all worked out quite well!

So we now have a proper anti-light device in our bedroom rather than the curtain from our last place which had temporarily (for a year!) stuffed in at the top if the window to keep light out.

Next, I'll be attempting the blinds in the loungebay window!
