Steel

It's satisfying to get a nice big bit of steel in the house. And we get 2!

 

This used to be our bathroom. Soon it will be our kitchen.

 

Our new kitchen taking shape.

Big bedroom

It's normal when spending lots of money on a house project to add more bedrooms right? Wrong, it's much better to go from 3 to 2 bedrooms. BUT what about if you lose 2 crazy small useless bedrooms and instead get 2 proper double bedrooms? That's what we've done. The sewing room/spare room/music room/nursery have been smashed together to make one big room for me and Jon.

 

Eventually the current entrance on the left of this photo will become a big walk in cupboard (future children's box bed?) and the new door will come through the current cupboard on the right.

 

You can see where the nursery used to be with it's nicely painted floor. Dot never even slept in it!

 

Some nice floor space in our new bedroom.

 

And two nice big windows which get the morning sun - quite glad Dot isn't on this side as she wakes up early enough as it is!

Internal walls

Come on, be honest, am I the worst and laziest blogger you ever have known? I suspect I am. Still, I will persevere and continue to document our house even if I do it 9 months out of date. In this post, I share some pictures of our new internal walls being put up.

 

New doorway to the main bedroom (used to be a cupboard in the sewing room).

 

New cupboard in Dot's room.

 

New walls for Dot's room (which used to be our main, back bedroom)

 

This is a bit of the original kitchen, but will eventually be a handy under stairs storage area for the bikes.

 

New kitchen wall. You can just see the old fridge cupboard in the far right of the photo.
