Above is Tim filling yet another hole in the wall then he had to sand after, the people who lived in this house must have loved hanging things on the walls, and I mean loved it a lot... there were hundreds of tiny hooks everywhere... weird! and annoying cause we have had to fill them all in then smooth the walls... ragh! I have done the first coat of white paint on the ceiling. It already looks ten times lighter, as before the ceiling was the same colour as the walls. Is going to make such a difference having white ceiling, white woodwork and gorgeous colours on the walls. We have decided to do three walls ivory lace and one wall a bright terracotta colour, may look awful but we will never know until we try! Then all we need is a new gas fireplace. We have found one we like but will have to save up the pennies as usual!
Below Tim roped Dave into helping put up the new coving where the bar was. They did a fab job of it and is now ready for me to paint.

So as you can see Tim and I are powering away on our gorgeous house. We are loving it but is taking up a lot of time and energy. I keep thinking as soon as our house is all done and perfect then we can start filling it with babies... lots of!!!! he he he...

We now have a to do list to work through in finishing off jobs then we will only have three big projects left:
1. the kitchen-dining room
2. the bathroom
3. carpet and flooring throughout

So exciting! Oh and wedding to look forward to of course!

I am off to meet baby William tomorrow, I will be sure to take lots of photos to show you!! I am also hoping to do second coat on ceiling in lounge and first coat on at least one of the walls in the lounge. wish me luck!
