All works in our house are on hold now but I am hoping to start again soon, definitely before Christmas. For the time being everything is 'usuable' and some bits even look nice... I am especially pleased how the kitchen and garden turned out. There is still few things missing and some other things came up recently - didn't want any tiles in the kitchen but paint stared to peel off behind the sink so I had to reconsider my tile hatred.
I still don't have all the cupboards and shelves in the kitchen, dining room looks very empty, garden improvements are going very slowly due to lack of time, but I am happy with results so far.
Progress is slow also because I am very particular and it takes me a lot of time to find what I exactly want. After long hunt I finally bought two deer antlers (£5 for both, imagine that!), white plastic stag head, vintage wall plate with skull printed on it and vintage plate shelf which I have painted grey, shabby chic style!
All these treasures now wait to be hanged but I have to decide where I want them first so it is probably going to take another few months. However the most important thing is that I can cook, bake, fry and grill as much as I want - kitchen is fully functional! My favourite time to cook is early and late afternoon, when the kitchen is full of sunshine. Bliss..
