A little thing called Progression...

I've been looking back at pictures of the house before we purchased it + the pictures of before the previous owners owned it and have compared those images with where i'm at today!

THE HALL


The image above is of the hall...this image was taken by the previous owners when they purchased the house! 

The house had sat empty for years and was owned by the same family who purchased the house from NEW in the 1900's.


The previous owners renovation work!


The hall as its looks today! I'm still a long way off completion.

BEDROOM 2


Bedroom 2 started out as one room...


BUT - The previous owners changed the use of bedroom 2 by making it into a bathroom + walk in wardrobe... 



I changed it back into one room and then knocked the wall down in between Bedroom 1 + 2 so that we have a master bed + en-suite...

Bedroom 3 has now become my dressing room!

Reception 3...

Updated images of reception 3...


I've moved the Chesterfield sofa into the 3rd reception room. My intentions were to have it in this room when purchasing it...LOVE it up against the dark grey walls! ( Farrow and ball Down pipe )

I'm NOW on the look out for a consul table which will sit just be-hide it + hang one of our Geoff Keen paintings on the wall above.

Also on me list....ceiling light + rug + coffee table + sofa/2 lounge chairs + mirrors + cushions + lamps!!!


I've also unpacked some of our artwork + moved the floor lamp from reception 2...this is only temporary until i've purchased things from my list to replace.









The GAINT drift wood urns/vases that we purchased from the Newark antiques fair have been delivered....I'm thinking that I may turn them into floor lamps?

The Broadwalk...

Jonathan finally took a day off from the business...SO - he could drive me to the Lincolnshire show ground where they hold a monthly 3 day antiques event.

Stall holders travel from all over Europe selling some AMAZING stuff...

I lost my head trying to decided what I wanted!

BUT - we came home with this....

The Broadwalk!







I'm going to get Alan our electrician to hook me up and get this thing working!!!!

Images below are from one of my wish lists...




We also purchased a 2.5 meter long table which will be delivered on Wed!

 BUT - only after Jonathan and I spent 30 mins SCREAMING at each other about it!!!...
