First-time house renovation

BB - well done for the incredibly fast progress! your house looks great now, you've done a great job.

Spying around in your blog - what colour have you painted the lounge? (may suit mine!), the 'shabby chic' cabinet - is it shop bought and if so, where from?

Thankyou everyone for the welcome. Cant use thanks button, something to do with internet explorer, sorting out this weekend.
Well Ive drawn the plans for the builder, plumber, electrician and family members being pulled in for free labour. The first job will be to clear the garden of brambles or I will have afew scratched workmen on my hands. Will look into doing blog.

Ermmmmmmmmmm...........where's yours . Actually I've lost track, must check out that list that got posted the other day!

In my defense my OH didn't go out the night I had put aside to do something about it so I ended up doing non-PC things. I am still going to do one I promise. I'm away for the next week thuogh so it wont be until after.


Just keep reminding me I haven't done it and I'll get there in the end :rotfl:

We've been out today and ordered the bath we originally wanted (the Carron Status).

Wow, that's a really fantabulous bath! Envy envy!

Awww, thanks peeps

We had a bathroom design drawn up by two shops and both of them put in a corner bath, which neither OH or I like and the builder also tried to persuade us against having. We needed a bath to fit along an 1800cm space between the corner and the door frame but OH didn't want the normal squared off end as he said he'd feel as though he'd be walking into it . Anyway, I found the normal D-shaped one which we didn't have enough room to centre along the space then luckily came across this one which is 1700cm so seems to fit the bill very nicely. We've not chosen the taps yet, my brain's overloaded with all these decisions :rotfl:
