Finally after weeks of not doing anything really big we now have the start of a sitting room. Stephen came down and did most of the painting with Jon on Friday and we polished it off on Sunday morning. The wood still needs doing but that's a perfect mid-week job for Jon.
Can you spot Stephen?
STOP........Hannah-time, back in the painting game
somehow I just kept getting paint in my mouth
look at us, now we're a two-step-ladder-family
Doesn't our sitting room look lovely! Jon's settling in with some haunting organ melodies
Dad brought us a new chair (the one in the foreground). It was my great-grandmothers and used to live in a farm house in Wales, brilliant! I also recognise the covering material and think my Mum may have covered it many moons ago...
Seriously, our Hammond Organ is a fab piece of furniture in our sitting room. And it will be very useful when we run our living-room super 8 cinema (possibly with live score, Jon?). We watched a, very much abridged, version of Battlestar Galactica on super 8 the other night. It was so cool, sitting in our new living room watching proper film on our lovely blank wall. We're going to keep a wall blank solely for this purpose. Maybe we'll run a peek-a-boo-through-the-window cinema for the
E17 art trail next year.
