Lounge bit - downstairs is done part 3

Wooden floor, Irish bluestone hearth, log burner, a table that's the right height for TV dinners.  And storage/charging space.  The hearth & log burner were sagas - many thanks to all of you who put up with the regular updates!

I'm pleased that the stove came from the Isle of Wight.  Even more pleased that it works - although Phil is convinced that he is better at getting it working than I am.  Warm & pretty.  And very pleased with the grey cushion - a B&Q sample sale acquisition.


You can just make out the fish tank's new orange door in the second picture.  The original frosted glass one didn't survive the move - so is now orange perspex.  Pleased to report that all the fish have survived.

New corner sofa, new storage unit, old chevron cushions.  Old & much loved sofa has been exchanged for a case of cider.

All good.

Dining bit - downstairs is done

These pics are already out of date as the fish
tank has been relocated back from the garage (it's where the little coffee table is).

The stairs are just about visible - painted white with anti slip stickers.

3 puffin photos - taken on last year's trip to Ireland - we were thinking on the lines of 3 ducks on the wall, 3 pendant lights...

Paintings are by Nick Andrews - the one on the right is our wedding painting.

Must get some seat pads though - the chairs are a bit too hard for an evening of Cthulu Munchkins!


Hall - downstairs is done

Very pleased with Phil's suggestion of adding some bright orange doors to the hall storage thingy.  My colleagues were surprised to see the filing cabinet inside it - given the state of my desk....
Rug is one we had in the bunk bed ("monk bed" according to nephews) room in the old house.  Floor is PEFC french oak - we are now a shoes off household I'm afraid.
