A new coat of paint.

Tomorrow a truly momentous occasion is to occur!
Painters are coming to paint our house!!
We are really looking forward to it (not the actual process but the result!).

When we bought this house the only reason we could afford it was because everything needed doing - and when I say everything I mean EVERYTHING! We did some painting and carpeting before we moved in just to make it "livable".

Well, 2 months after we moved in Grant was boarded so that put a screeching halt to any renovation plans we might have had.

We have been able to do things along the way but it seems to be a never ending process and it seems that by the time we get it all done we'll have to start at the beginning again.

Anyway, seeing as we've been living here for almost 7 years and this house probably needed painting 7 years before that, it is loooooong overdue and needless to say we are very excited!!
Can you tell??!!


Here is the "before" picture...but watch this space:

Now the day I can write a post entitled "Bathroom Renovation" will be the day we crack open the champagne!!

Yeah!! Looking forward to see the new coat of paint! We also had our house painted these holidays, how funny! Don't you hate the whole process?... Mess everywhere, people in your garden the whole time...but the result is enjoyable!
I have a bottle of champagne at the bottom of the fridge, must I keep it for the bathroom renovation then?

Ingrid, I know champagne lasts a long time but I fear it may not be long enough for this undertaking.
"Bathroom" had to have been top of the list when we first arrived but it seems like it may end up being the last on the list after all!
But when it f-i-n-a-l-l-y happens you'll be the first to know!!
