At long last!

It's been a busy weekend here, but lovely.

I know it seems like forever since we began our lounge makeover, but we are almost there and I can breath a sigh of relief. It did not help with the first effort of the wallpaper, {sigh} which sadly we had to tear off and get the gib stopper back again  ... all good fun!
 
It only took some friends that we invited for a little dinner party on Saturday evening, to get into top gear and motivate us into getting the room finished,  it was lovely to have guests back in our house again.
There are still a few more things to finish ... rugs for the floor and shutters for the windows, that we are getting made and to hang a few more paintings and pictures up.

I unpacked some of the boxes that the china had been stored away, washed everything and they are now back on the antique kauri dresser.

We are loving the new look ... the white { Magnolia blush} is fresh  and with the sun shinning in, makes the room bright and warm. Even on a winters day I have had to throw open the French doors, as it gets a little too cozy. The white wooden floors are fabulous to clean and I am happy that we did not go for carpet. Will share some more soon .

Thank you so much for stopping by.
Hope your weekend has been lovely and now wishing you a happy new week

We've got to do what?

Hello dear friends

We never thought we would be doing this quite so soon.
You are probably wondering what is happening to our lounge??? - well the linen look wallpaper we hung, was not looking good.  The actual paper was so thin and the job looked unprofessional.
It was not like it was cheap or anything and might even talk to the place where we bought it from.
So we ummed and aahed about this and so this morning we got to and started stripping away the paper, so we can start again.  We both thought if we were not 100% happy with this, would only annoy us forever more.

Have you ever done something like this, and it just has not worked for you? maybe a colour of paint. That is another story!
Also we have been waiting on the new flooring which has finally arrived. 
We have gone for a white Arctic walnut, {wide plank} which is sitting waiting to be laid.
So at the moment our room is looking more like a junk shop until it can all come together.

Oh well as they say patience is a virtue.

It's the weekend, so go and enjoy!
I will get back to stripping the wallpaper.
hugs
Carolyn
