Only 5 more sleeps.....

But as Dave has pointed out, we need twenty or more!! However, we are moving in on Thursday (on my Dad's birthday!) with the kitties & are very very excited!

View from the kitchen to the lounge:

Kitchen looking yummy! Dave can't wait to get cooking there - awesome!

Fossilised graffitti....

Has Clare been here? Or is it a fossilised worm? My sister, the new Banksy....

Kitty Seats!

Dave & I have been trying to decide which of the following will be Belle's favourite "kitty seat".....

1. Bedroom - convenient for snuggles:

2. Between lounge & kitchen - convenient for sofa & fud:

3. Kitchen window - near fud:

4. Long "shelf" in kitchen - wide enough for a person to sit on and has the underfloor heating pipes running under it...... hmmmm, think we have a winner.....

And there's more.....

Our bathroom - actually has a toilet and everything. Just need a door now....

The upstairs bathroom - we had some of the floor tiles left from the ground floor, so Clive made a pretty pattern upstairs too! Very creative!

The oak flooring waiting to go down upstairs!

So so close now.......

Dave painted the tile sealant on today in the lounge and kitchen, so here is a picture without loads of building stuff in it!

The view from the front door:

We also paid a visit to IKEA again today - how quickly you can go off a shop.... and then love it again after a cheapo hotdog! Here is something I built today:
(only 2 wardrobes to build tomorrow - boo.......)

That beautiful local stone....

....is fantastic, is it not?? Clive did the steps from the lounge to the kitchen level yesterday - aren't they gorgeous??

Clive putting the floor tiles down in the living area - last but definitely not least!

Perfectionist Suzie checking the just finished grout in the downstairs bathroom

Meanwhile, upstairs is taking shape thanks to many, many coats of white emulsion.
(I think I'll be washing it out of my hair for months to come....)

Shower!

Our shower is workin! Just need the glass partition door/toilet/sink etc. Nearly there though!

View of the living area/front door from the balcony/study area:

Sexy stone! A close-up of the stone for the entire ground floor - we went for the more "rustic" stone so we've got some lovely seams of quartz running through them:

2nd bedroom - to the left is the dressing room, to the right is the bathroom:

2nd bedroom - looking the other way!

The bath!

Cor, it's moving fast now!

The kitchen spots are in! It just looks sooooooo fabulous! Can't wait for the electrical inspection so we can turn them all on.....

The second bedroom (upstairs):

OK, my favourite room so far!! The dressing room...... sigh
