Flat Update

Got some more furniture today; small sofa, old table/storage thingy, some bean bags and some other stuff. Also bought a load of cleaning and bathroom stuff. So it’s all coming along nicely. The main next thing is the Blinds and Curtains, upstairs and the kitchen should be OK but the drop of the Living Room window is about 76 inches – the biggest blinds I can find only drop to 71″. Got to try and find somewhere that sells longer.

Now just need a computer desk (argos or ikea), a couple of wardrobes and some book shelves and we’re almost done.

Some better pics;

The entrance stairs – Not much to see here but I thought perhaps a plant of some description and a bookcase on the red bit.

Kitchen

The kitchen window looks out to a rather unsightly wall and back of the next roads buildings so the owners have had an artist create a Trompe-l’œil which will be mounted in the next couple of weeks.

Living Room

The owners of the property have tried to keep as much character in the renovation as was there when the place was built nearly 300 years ago – hence the oak wall panel which has been restored and hung back on the wall. I think it makes a pretty cool feature.

I want to eventually get another armchair as the sofa is only two seater and we could do with a bit more seating area, but for now we have cube bean bags.

From the other side of the room – that plinth is going to serve as our Entertainment area with the TV and stuff on, from this picture you can see our nearest pub – right over the road!

These are the original oak stairs that were built with the house – they’re a bit steep and took some getting used to but I think again add real character.

My room

Here’s my room complete with shower and random mezzanine level for bed reached only by either ladder or acrobatics.

So there we go, I’ve not got pics of Stavs room as he was flat out on his bed when I was taking pics and he made me delete the picture. So as soon as I can get the blinds and stuff I think we’ll be in.
