Painting, cleaning, all that jazz!
08:00So we've had the keys for a couple of weeks and we've spent it wisely, cleaning, painting, pulling the house apart, shopping for stuff :)
*A quick disclaimer, I'm not featured in any of these photos, it looks like Dus is the only one doing any work in the house, that's not true! He's just rubbish at remembering to take photos and so I take them!*

What do you mean you wanted a warning that I'm posting photos featuring Dus' derrière?
 |
| Nice and square....now just to rebuild them so I can actually get into the office without taking a leap! |
 |
| Dus cutting in the white in the dining room where I'd done the rest but am no match for DuSteadyHand. (See what I did there? Turned Dus into Dus steady hand!) |
 |
| Hob before |
 |
| Oven before (there's no after because I forgot!) |
 |
| Hob after |
 |
| So shiny you can see the power lead of the steamer in the reflection of the oven door! |
This gives you a nice sneak peek of the pale green we've used in the basement dining room and sitting room on a couple of the walls.
 |
| Dus cutting in the grey in the living room. I've since realised that you should do the painting and cutting in while it's all wet otherwise dry cutting in will show up when you do the main section. Oh well, no one will notice (Except you, pretend you don't notice when I show you those pics) |
I'll show you those pics as we come to it but we're moving tomorrow....eek!

At least Dus's derrière was well covered up. Nothing worse than a bit showing out the top of trousers. LOLLLL It's all so exciting I feel as if I'm moving with you. Care to rent me one of the bedrooms. LOL
ReplyDeleteI have visited your blog for the first time and found it a well organized blog.

Been there, done that, SEVERAL times. :-) Love the 'after' pic of the stove. And that is a beautiful kitchen!
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed that Dus is painting without drop cloths on the floor. When I paint, I get paint on everything.
ReplyDeleteI was fearful we'd have builders bottoms, but nope well clothed :) and what great paintwork.
ReplyDeleteI hope the move goes well tomorrow, I think you're going to have a lovely jubbly time in your new home. Fingers crossed the Welsh weather stays fine too

ReplyDeleteI've really been enjoying seeing the photos of the house and all of the things that you are doing, too! I can't wait to see all of the finished photos :)
