blind bit of difference

To make our kitchen even more cosy we decided to install some smart white blinds - we bought them from ikea as they fit perfectly! and lucky james got to hang them!! wasn't quite as easy as he makes it look but they make such a difference!

little light on the subject

this gorgeous pendant shade from the conran shop was perfect for our new hall - love it! and was seriously good value - although I did have to make it myself!

running paint

the final touch to our gorgeous staircase has now been finished! A lovely slick pavillion grey painted runner really completes the look - phew!

peachy painting

With the walls freshly lined and lovely it was finally time to paint! After a horrendous 3 visits to B&Q we finally managed to get the paint we were after! Although it's called Warm Terracotta its actually more of a peach colour....but it really works! So nearly finished!! :)

smart lining

Post-stripping, the walls were actually in pretty good shape! But we still needed Brad to line them to make them super smooth and ready for painting!! And now they are.... :)We also had the skylight shaft ripped out and rebuilt with plasterboard so that it actually fits the new window and lets all the light in!

Stripping magic!

The time has finally come where we can get someone in to tackle our horrendous lime green textured hallway!! Make way for Brad! Hadn't realised quite how important the hallway was...until we tried to choose our paint that was! Thank goodness he managed to get it all off and still keep the walls in tact!!

A little package arrived the other day from my big sis down under - a lovely pot of herbs (cooking ones honest!) for the kitchen! yummy! Have used them lots already - thank you katie! :)
