A WORK IN PROGRESS

You may remember this post ..... well the "messy room" is now the "almost empty room".

When we moved into our house this room was a converted garage, there was carpet on the floor (not great, but ok) for a while it was a playroom for our kids (and a very good one at that) but as they got older and stopped using it, it slowly became more of a storage room.

Then we had a leak which wet all the carpet and it was kind of down hill from there and just became this.

So now we have plans to polish the concrete and give the walls a new coat of paint and a new lease of life ...

..... the desk was bought from a secondhand shop years ago, it is such a great desk but has never really been used properly (it was used for the kids computer back before the time of laptops and it was good to play shops, restaurants and games on) ....

but now it's time to make this little corner a bit more functional .... 

I love the challenge of a blank space ...

wish me luck !!!

GOODBYE LITTLE HOUSE

My friend recently sold her house ... a bit sad as she lived just around the corner from me, we had lots of very fun times there and I really did love that little house .... such great bones, nice old floorboards, big windows, lovely doors, picture rails, and lovely trees ....
these shots were taken mid-move, but I did manage to get some photos around all the boxes  ....
yes I will miss the little house, and having my friend living so close, but lucky for me she hasn't moved too far away (just not walking distance anymore, darn !!!)

 

 

I will show you some of the outside next week.
