So we have now officially bought a house. We completed on Wednesday and started straight away with decorating our first bedroom. Tim has been sooo busy fixing things, we keep finding new problems to fix... it is definitely a project and a half! What have we let ourselves in for...

Seriously though, we are really enjoying it but is HARD work. It will be amazing when it is all done but that is a year or so away yet. We are just doing a room at a time decorating wise. We have cleaned the whole house, although it is so dirty we will need to clean over and over again to get it really spotless. Tim has cleaned our amazingly huge oven, dinner parties here we come when our dining room is no longer flurescent pink and blue!!

So here is the sequence of photos showing the one room we have finally finished decorating!

1st coat of paint
2nd coat of paint, you could still see blue through it, we have learnt for next time to put a thick base coat on first!
Final coat, it was starting to look good now!
Me glossing radiator, I had already finished window sill then I did the skirting boards.
Finished glossing doorway, was soooo gross before!
Tim changed all the power sockets, TV ariel plug and put a new light socket on ceiling then new cable and lamp... Here is our new bedroom ready for bed to be delivered on Monday!!
So Tim is currently there starting on 2nd room, the study downstairs, we will be using it as a lounge this winter whilst we sort out the big lounge which needs a lot of work. He will stay till Monday to put together our new bed and then come back here for the week. We will go back next weekend, then Tim starts work a week on monday so after next weekend we will be living apart.... boo hoo...

Better scoot to bed now, I am shattered. I also pulled my back putting on my jeans on Friday so am now in agony. Oops!
