and it feels like home again...
instead of a dust sheet...masking tape building site. The bookcase is finished but still needs a little bit of sanding down and a coat of Annie Sloan Clear Wax....shucks a great excuse for a little jaunt today to Rustiques via Dunelm for the plain lime cushions which I should have bought on my last visit and the hunt is on for a blind for the kitchen and some of those finishing touch bits and pieces.
I did manage to squeeze in a little cubbyhole playtime yesterday...painting up this "HOME" plaque that I bought from Rob The MDF Man at the NEC....crikey must be 2 years ago...just goes to show that those mad moment crafty purchases are never in vain...
and how remiss of me yesterday not to say a big thank you to all my bloggy buddies for all your words of encouragement and lovely comments in my DIY hours of need...I really do appreciate your company although I do feel bad that I just haven't had time to visit you all lately but tonight I'll be popping the cork on the champers...drinking a toast to you all and celebrating my very own little Grand Design achievement...
and boosting morale ready for Stage 2...oops did I omit to mention that this was only Stage 1 of the planned Chez Kath Make-Over. I bought enough flooring to extend out into the hall so the next area of renovation is every decorator's nightmare...the hall and staircase...crikey another 6 doors for the painting conveyor belt but I'm hoping that all this DIY stuff is a bit like giving birth...what are the chances that a few weeks down the line I'll have forgotten all the labour pains and by the time the plasterer and joiners return September/October...I'll be raring to go again.
See you all tomorrow
Hugs Kath xxx
