| amazing how shabby it looks when you strip it all back... |
I have had a weekend to myself as Our Boy was on a scout trip and The Professor was at a conference. Great time to do some house projects...!
☺
Our house from 1969 is not very old by English standards, but by the time we bought it 10 years ago it had been a rental property for many years and it needed a lot of work doing to it. One of the first things we did was to change all the single glass windows to double glass window (triple doesn't exist here)...
As I said at the time - I may come from a cold country, but I am not used to being cold indoors.
The rest of the house has been done step-by-step throughout the years and the only things left now are to change the interior doors, the stairs/stairwell, the master bedroom and the main bathroom.
So, this weekend I got busy with the main bathroom. When we moved in, it was army green.... 'nice'... NOT! At the time, my father-in-law painted it white for us and that was a great improvement! But that was now many years ago.
However, we didn't want to spend 1000's of £ on the bathroom at this point, but it was in dire need of some 'love' and I spent the weekend sprucing it up. I will get back with some pictures of the final result once I have had some help putting up some mirrors etc on the walls (no, I can't do EVERYTHING on my own...).
The next project will be my bedroom and then finally the stairwell and stair case. Don't think I can face another project for a while, so that probably won't be till after the summer. Isn't it amazing how the entire house becomes such a mess when doing house projects!
Sigh...
And then we can probably start all over again...
Oh, the joys of home ownership!

Ja slik er det, en evig runddans...... Jeg hadde egentlig lyst å se Georg Clooney filmen du anbefalte, men den går på kveldstid og det blir for seint for meg når jeg skal opp kl 04.15 i morgen også......så da blir det Madonnafilmen som vises på dagtid......
ReplyDeleteAlltid noe som må ordnes eller pusses opp når man har hus. Husker den tiden vi leide hus, da gjorde vi på gøye ting i helgene, som turer til National Trust Properties, kino midt på dagen, osv.
ReplyDeleteLykke til med resten av badet!
Klem :-)
PS Vi hadde avokado-farge på baderomsinnredningen i ett av husene i bodde i i England. Og konge-blå i ett annet. Og rosa. Rart, men litt artig samtidig.
Ja, du sier noe...man glemmer alt rot, støv og annet som dukker opp i kjølvannet av oppussing !
ReplyDeleteJeg har akkurat satt igang malings prosjekt (en maler som gjør, må jeg innrømme) i spisestuen på vår Villa, og etter å ha tømt rommet, var det å gjøre rent FØR man kunne få inn maler...haha...for ikke å snakke om ryddingen som vil komme etterpå..jaja...fint blir det vel.
Lykke til - blir spennende å se slutt resultatet :)
Det er resultatet etter et avsluttet arbeid som skaper motivasjonen for det neste.
ReplyDeleteLykke til.
Kloke ord fra Åshild over her. Og noen ganger funderer man på hvorfor man ikke gjorde det tidligere.
