Our house

OK, Mum, you're right, we have lived in this house for nearly 6 months now and not posted any photos of the inside! Here we are then, a selection of rooms from home sweet home:
Mike's room. LOTS of redecorating to be done here - it looks OK in the photo but not so OK on close inspection! Lovely view though, plenty of light. We put in the blinds to screen out the afternoon sun.



Luke's room, in something like its usual state, that is, Lego everywhere. He chose the curtains. Not an action shot, sorry - he's out playing with his friend Mattie this afternoon. Hence the fact that I can post pictures!


The lounge / dining room. It looks completely different with our curtains, light fittings and our furniture. Considering that most of this was bought at different times and not designed to go together, it works remarkably well, we think.



We were particularly pleased with this light - sadly the bronze finish looks a bit plasticky in this photo. It's above the dining table, and is a big improvement to the old ones that were very 1970s thick cut glass, and also hung so low that we kept banging into them.


We've done nothing to the kitchen yet. Can't wait to get rid of those tiles!


Our bedroom, with new bedroom furniture and curtains. It'll look great once we've finished painting the walls.


Bathroom - no major changes here.


My room. We put new curtains in but otherwise it's basically OK. We need to get the windows sorted out at some point - you can see the condensation behind me in the photo and I'm sure it shouldn't do that.

To do next: the front door, which is rotting at the bottom and needs replacing, Mike's office and the spare room, which we might conceivably combine into one space as the spare room at the moment is barely big enough to get a single bed in. And then of course the garden!
