Before the builders

We're kind of, almost, just about getting there... I went to the house yesterday and they had plastered the living/dining room walls which made that bit look loads more finished and really exciting! Until then here are the rest of the before pics I took...

The hall coming from the kitchen when we moved in... The wall on the left has gone now and the kitchen doorway has been moved and widened to make room for these little beauties. *Note the delightful dog gate which was used to contain the rottie and staffie who lived in the kitchen fireplace.

The hall


Fred tackling the 10 layers of woodchip and victorian wallpaper which had become part of the wall.


Up the stairs and landing when we moved in. It all looks very different now but I don't have any pics at the moment. The whole of the upstairs has been stripped, floorboards stripped, walls skimmed and painted and new electrics installed.


The bathroom, which is now a completely empty room! it's been knocked through and the toilet door blocked up. Those tiles are actually wallpaper - what a genius idea!

Beautiful original features! 


Landing - with discarded car

The box room


My studio - this was the worst room, the occupant had a house cat confined to this room and there was a massive smell of something illegal when he finally unbolted the door!!!


Cleaning the bay window in my studio - there's a lot of dirt in that water!


The garden - lots of scope here too!
