Utter Clutter

What a great find I had today.

The shop is called Utter Clutter and is situated in Leominster.

I had been there last week andsaw a green painted chair and a pair of rose bud pllow slips but didn't buy them, so, this week I decided to go back to the shop. Yes, you guessed it, they had been sold but I then spotted a 50's black jumper with short sleeves and lots of beads,sequins and felt flowers embroidered on it - it really is so pretty.

Time Does Fly

I was searching through some of my favourite blogs and remembered that I had actually started one myself - doooh.

So, almost a year later and what's happened at Rose Villa?

Well, my very large Victorian terrace bathroom is now transformed back into a smaller third bedroom and even smaller bathroom - and I really do mean small.

For the bathroom suite I choses a plain white enamelled steel bath with funky stainless taps. A compact size loo - a bit like a school loo I think, for children LOL - and a slimmer profile sink -same width as a normal sink but it jutts out less - funky taps again. I also had a lovely towel rail style radiator installed. There is a new small sash style window in the newly created bathroom space. It's all rather dinky and you can sit on the loo, brush your teeth in the hand basin and wash your feet in the bath at the same time.(although why you would want to!!)

Now for the kitchen revamp.

I was so fed up with the kitchen so I knocked down the wall which seperated the utility area from the actual kitchen. The floor had to be raised in the kitchen to match that of the utility area.
I had a new window opening so that I now have a view of my garden as well as a side window - typical Victorian terrace layout.

Today, I am attempting to actually finish off the kitchen decoration.

Hopeless eh - only taken me twleve months nearly.
