Gorgeous builder is still here . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
(He's shy . . . . . . . . . . .)
We have made good progress since I last spoke with you all . . . . . . .
I feel like I've had a hoover and a damp cloth attached to me . . . . . . . .
At all times for the last two months . . . . . .
In fact I have become quite a scrubber . . . . . . . . . . !!
There is not one inch left inside this whole house . . . . . . . . . .
that has not been touched by my fair hand . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
We have had a good de-clutter too . . . . . . . . . . . .
It's amazing . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
When you have to move all your stuff from one room
into another and back again, SEVERAL TIMES . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
You realise you can live without soooooooooh much of it!!!!!
So would you like to see our progress?
As you can see the kitchen is finished. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
And our living room is nearly finished . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I just have just a few more of these to make . . . . . . . . .
Well it would be rude not to?
We can't have a sitting room with only two cushions in it can we?
We still have LOT'S of finishing touches left to do . . . . . . . . .
All the new windows still need painting outside . . . . . . . . . . . .
The new floor in the porch needs grouting . . . . . . .
A bit of painting and decorating inside still to do . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
And I need to get a piece of mirror glass cut for this old life-belt . . . . . . ..
I've customised . . . . . . . . . . . .
As it's going to hold the mirror over the basin in our new wet room . . . .
I love the finishing touches don't you?
Hey Helen,all looking good from where i am, it does take time tho' doesn't it(and money too)!
Hope all's well,or at least getting there,
Much Love
Sue xxxx
Happy New Year to you too

Your place looks fab! And I thought it looked great already before. (Seeing it in Country Homes & Interiors) :) Happy New Year to you! Maybe one day I will make it to your shop.

Happy New Year! Even unfinished it looks so lovely. I'm now having to walk round here with my eyes closed.

It looks amazing. We've been spending a lot of time doing up the bones of our house but haven't had the 'oh look, its finished' as most of the jobs are hidden
