Dust, dust and more dust....

So we didn't move house but have had a look at revamping Rose Villa so find the third bedroom much need by my youngest son.

I just took a hammer and knocked down the wall between my kitchen and utility area - oh my lord what a mess, what dust, crikey how many bricks, will it ever end.

Now I had to find a man who could put it all back together for me.

Basically, I have split the large third bedroom into a smaller bedroom and 'compact but bijou' bathroom.

Received the compliment off a dear friend who said'it looks as though it's always been this way'. So that's good.

The kitchen mess is still going on. I'll keep you posted.

Moving House - not!

I put Rose Villa on the market for sale as I had found a converted coach house in a former stableyard which I fell in love with ! HA - talk about problems with the neighbours, so after some thought we are now going to stay at Rose Villa and do more work to it.. Aaaagh!

So, last Tuesday the wall was knocked out between the kitchen and a small utility area, so now I have a big kitchen and lots of dust and mess.
The plan is to instal a new kitchen complete with white enamel rustic style sink - not Belfast though - and to also do some work on the over large bathroom upstairs so that we have a smaller bathroom and another bedroom. Tadaaa - no need to move house now...........
