I love these lights, the Astro Kymi 300 Indoor Wall Light in Plaster. They look so sleek and it’s great that they can be painted to suit your wall colour! And in our case, we’ll be having two on this wall… And, after a couple of coats of the same paint (Charlotte’s Locks Farrow andContinue reading “Plaster up down lights…”

Week 74 – Let there be colour! Plus we can officially have electricity!
The 3 phase electric meter is now good to go and we can ask the electrician to come back..more importantly, yay!! Apparently there aren’t a lot of installers available to do 3 phase, but luckily for us we only had to wait a couple of months.

Week 73 – More paint spraying, white paint samples..plus go big or go home….!
And so, this week we finished all the undercoat painting, and we used Express Coat by Valspar from B&Q. This one can be used on fresh plaster and doesn’t need watering down, always a bonus!

From Wren to Howdens to diy kitchens…we couldn’t quite decide on something that was “us”. We began with copper, handlelessContinue reading “Kitchen decisions..”
Week 69 – Site Progress! More plasterboard plus floor decisions and a paint sprayer…
Eeekkkk lots more plasterboard this week! And the vaulted ceiling areas are looking fabulous! Wow it is really starting to look like a house. It’s so strange when you live pretty much on “site” and it develops into a home rather than a build project ha! And as you can see, we are a littleContinue reading “Week 69 – Site Progress!

Week 50 – Site Progress..DIY fence and charity shop finds!
House wise, it’s been pretty quiet this week, as we are still waiting on the front door…fingers crossed that will be week 51. And so, apart from a little more window insulation and some joinery ready for the chipboard, it’s been a quiet one! However we did complete our little DIY fence project! After aContinue reading “Week 50 – Site Progress..DIY fence and charity shop finds!”
