Garden distraction.

I have started to work through the cut down tree remains after a summer of drying out!!

The Bathroom.

After just over a year, I have finally found my Canon Ixus 130.

So I decided to celebrate by posting up some photos of my bit of flat DIY, the bathroom.











Sanding....

After 6 hours, I have at least made a start of sanding down the doorway from hell!!

The White Kitchen and The Partially Sanded Door!

Well, I have 3 coats of undercoat in the kitchen now.

Weird thing is, it looks alot smaller.

I also did all the easy bits of sanding on the bi-folding door.

Next weekend I rest as Mother is visiting!

Garden covered.

Finally the garden has been covered up to 3/4 of its length.

Now I can focus on just the kitchen.

Painting hell.

This is the first coat.

Tomorrow the kitchen will be white, it will.

New Voile

I transformed a huge voile into the perfect voile for my bedroom.

I am rather pleased.

Plastered

It did not go according to plan!

Got the main bits done though including the ceiling.

Smashing Time!!!

Finally the kitchen is free from tiles.

It was a lot easier than I thought.

Despite the state of the plaster underneath, it looks miles better!!

Now I am ready to have the room partially plastered and the artex ceiling plastered at the weekend.

This Weekend....

I mainly be removing the last of the kitchen tiles in preparation for the plastering.

If that goes well and quickly, I may go really mad and start sanding down the dorrframes and skirting.

Still living the dream people!!!!

What A Busy Weekend..

Well, after a year, I decided to hang a bedroom mirror, put up a bathroom mirror and paint a small chest of drawers just to throw some colour in the bedroom.

I also fitted a ball catch and plate so that the bi-folding door closes, and cleaned off the glass after the glossing.

Now I am having a panic as I have an electrician round Friday and the whole kitchen plastered Saturday and I have not taken all the tiles off.

New Doors and Windows!

On Monday and Tuesday I had a new front and back door fitted, along with a kitchen window.

I cannot tell you the difference it has made having doors that fit!!!

Here are the obligatory before and after photos!
