Getting there......

Even though it's only been 2 months since I moved in it was getting to the stage where I thought I'd never get the house finished, I'm sure everyone that's ever moved to anywhere that needed work has felt the same. Getting rid of the artex ceilings upstairs made a big difference but I needed to get another big job out of the way so that I could see light at the end of the tunnel.

The floors! They had to be next. Upstairs was covered in pretty much every shade of carpet possible - and none of them to my taste at all! The 3 bedrooms and the hall were all different colours as was the floor in the bathroom and ensuite - like a rainbow but nowhere near as pretty.  The worst by far for me was the dark green swirly shag pile style carpet on the stairs! Nasty!!! Seriously I can't believe anyone would choose to have this, still it takes all sorts of folk.....

I arranged for the floors upstairs and the stairs to be done first, that would be followed shortly afterwards by the lounge and dining room.

It's amazing how a lick of paint or a new carpet can have such an effect on a space, suddenly everything looked lighter and definitely neater and cleaner! Amazing....so here's before......

and here's the exact same room after.......ta, da!!

I'm beginning to feel this is my house now it's getting my stamp on it! 

And as for the green shag pile on the stairs.......it was adiós to that too!
