Last summer I decided that I was going to get the house in order. Before Miss B came along we gutted the house from top to bottom but the combination of having a little one running about, 2 mental kittens and redundancy meant that the house took a back seat and got a little unloved looking.
August 2012 saw Operation “Get this house into gear” begin with us ripping the halls apart which was a major job.  I spent ages trying to find paper that I was happy with and thanks to the lovely Laura Ashley I did just that 🙂
Our poor hall was all bare naked then half done for almost a month because again in my wisdom (are you seeing a pattern here) I decided we should get all the internal doors replaced so that held us up for longer than it should have done.
I was absolutely delighted with the results and it still makes me smile on a daily basis so I know I made the right choice.
I gave the house a break over Christmas but we were right back into in in January but I will do some separate posts on each room as I go.
Here is the list I started with and how I’m doing so far:
