The 7 best home renovation blogs...

I was contacted by Rebecca Thienes from www.glo.msn.com asking if they could use some images from the house, which I agreed to...Not - really thinking anything more about it until I saw the article.


( Did I just read that right!!! YOU SAY WHAT??? )


 I just wanted to say THANK YOU to Rebecca and everyone at www.glo.msn.com 

I normally HATE surprises...BUT - this is one of a few that have turned out to be VERY nice!

Never did I think that such things would/could happen when I started this blog, which was stared for our own personal use for something to look back onto when/if we EVER finish the renovation work!

Bedroom 2...Before&After...


WOW - I'd kinda forgotten about this...

The image above is a picture of how the dressing room looked when we purchased 47 Park Avenue!


AND - this image, is a picture of how that very same dressing room looks today! 

Could the 2 be anymore different? 

Just like me and Jonathan...beauty and the beast.

How time fly's...when your supposed to be having FUN! It's no wonder I don't have any friends.


And - another before image...this picture shows you the wall which separated the old en- suite and dressing room, the wall was added by the previous owners as this was originally 1 room the 2nd bedroom!


Same view as before! Wall removed and back to one room...KINDA!


Toilet GONE!!! Can you imagine having this in the bedroom.  

NO THNAKS! Not - while I'm trying to sleep!

Bedroom 2...


We decided to collect the mirrors for the en-suite ourselves instead of having them delivered as originally planned...

Only because I wanted to visit a neighbouring store as they sell some gardening stuff and as I'm now on a mission to find pots LARGE enough for my Fiddle leaf fig trees, it seemed like a good idea.


And - can you believe it!!! We drove all that way and I came away empty handed.

Thats the 1st time I've walked outa that store without a bag or 2!


Anyway - Ikea is also just around the corner and we had 45mins to get around there before it closed to sniff out some pots!

( I could score bath salts quicker than all of this SHIZ!!! ) 


Ikea...is like landing on the moon for me, one giant leap!

 I HATE it! It makes me proper CRAY.


SO - We side track the showroom and bum rush the so called market area! 

Where I find hanging from the celling...a black and white patterned rug, SO - I'm reading the swing ticket, its 200cm by 200cm its located on shelve 85 and it's ONLY £55!!!

We pick up the rug form shelve 85 and head to the gardening section...And - NO POTS BIG ENOUGH!!! AAAaaaRRRrrrGGGGggggHHhhhh....when will this all end?





Martin has just finished hanging the mirrors, SO - I though it a good idea to unwrap the rug, roll out and let it breath!

AND - to my surprise! 

The black and white square rug with the brightly coloured boarder that I thought we purchased...

Turns out to be JUST black and white, rectangular in shape and twice the size!  

SOMEBODY SHOOT ME!


I didn't even want the rug...I got sucked in by its cheapness! 

The joy that is shopping at IKEA.


Anyway - Adding the mirrors and the rug to the en-suite have made me realise that I do need to add texture to the wall behind the basins and pattern to the floor. 

Just when you think your moving in the right direction, BAM!!! 2 more things you need to add to your  todo list!

Bedroom 2...

So - Ive just counted a grand total of 8 mirrors purchased over the last 2 days!

WHY???...

I cant stand to see my decaying face and body, throughout my working life my eyes have been trained to look for the imperfections within things...so - having 8 mirrors in the house is going to be HELL!

I cant mark my face and body up and send it off for 20 grands worth of retouching...CAN I???


Anyway...I finally got around to buying 2 of these mirrors in the above image for the en suite. 


Adding both mirrors to the en suite will change things up little, BUT - this room...as with all other rooms within this house...is still far from finished!


I'm still looking at adding texture to the wall behind the basins, maybe a concrete wall paper? Maybe not?


Maybe a patterned ceramic tiled rug under the bath? Maybe not?

WHO CAN SAY WHAT WILL HAPPEN! 

I may just give it all up! Sit in a dark room never to see the light of day again when these mirrors turn up! And - when I'm reminded of what I actually look like.

Bedroom 2...

Nothing much going on at the moment, so not a lot to report.

Although - I'm still very much looking forward to receiving delivery of the NEW sofa for reception 2, I'm planing on moving some stuff around when it arrives, BUT - until then I'm pretty much stuck. 

Images below are at the request of one of our readers.

En- suite...


I LOVE this chair, it's just a bugger to get out of!

Master + En - suite...


So - I've also been thinking about adding tiles to the wall behide the bed.


I'm thinking of tile's from the top of skirting board and up to the bottom of the picture rail.

 + from the wall behide the basins in the en-suite across to the wall behide the bed in the bedroom.


Lighting above bed -  same as the visual ref below...

I'm having a wobble about wall lights in the en-suite.


I LOVE these wall lights from www.trainspotters.co.uk 

BUT -  there size is staring to worry me! They measure 160cm in length.


+ A decision made! I've made my mind up...and want to use flat white metro tiles with a dark grey grout.
