THE END

We have finally reached the end [almost] after 14 weeks, we can now relax in our double lounge on this gorgeous L Shape sofa piled with lots of cushions, throws and sheepskin pelts. This is the cosy corner for watching movies and we even slept down here after getting our sofa re-installed, it decided to move across the road to our lovely neighbours for the duration of the build!

Lovely cream wool knitted trow and sheepskin pelt.

Our Scottish throw, brown woven throw and another pelt, very tactile though BH is like whats all this stuff! As I write this the toes are cosily ensconced in the throw, hmmm....

Our lovely vintage bag chandeliers finally in place, with the crystals reflecting on the ceiling.

Our Arco lamp has been put back in place, the curtains were rehung yesterday with the swags and tails.

View of the other end of the lounge. Our new claret sofa from sofasandstuff arrived last week despite the awful snow! And within our time slot, thrilled to bits, cosy, squishy and sublime already caught a few zeds on her. The floor looks great after being a building site and general dumping ground it's been sanded, dyed and varnished along with the skirting boards. The fireplace took 1 hour of scrubbing to clean, the Arco looks fab over the sofa for reading I cannot move it at all the base is sooooo heavy!

Another angle to see the arms and seat back of the sofa.

Expanse of lovely wooden floor.

My corner hehe!

The door is in place for the study and BH's corner is closest to do all the home entertainment. Still need to put up paintings, art, install the original marble fireplace from the old back louge at the moment it's functional so we will have a crackling fire on Christmas day!

Our lovely wenge wood dining table from GoModern arrived on Tuesday, again they battled awful weather to get it here from Portugal what a result! And our dining chairs are all set up in chocolate leather, very comfy! The table extends to seat 10 and has a brilliant gloss insert to match the colour of the cappuccino marble floor tiles.

View from the oven of the island, the chandeliers, dining table and our bi fold doors. These took 2 hours to clean and BH really went for it. The house took 9 hours to clean from top to bottom on Monday and I was putting in hours over the previous weekend too. In total maybe 2 days to be dust free?!

View of the bi fold doors, glass roof and kitchen window above the sink. Notice we have the hob installed?!

Orchid for the window ledge, mum will be taking this to her orchid sanctuary when it stops flowering and returning when it buds again, I end up killing them after they flower!

It's been great rearranging, feels like we've just moved in! Have lemon, bergmont, orange and cinnamon on the oil burner very christmassy, our gold hand from Thailand used to be in the hallway looks brilliant here!

Portrait view, look at the lovely finish of that window sill!

Our fab really heavy candle holders look amazing on the new wenge wood dining table.

View of the hob, extractor and long length of lovely clean units.

The floor to ceiling units are all jam packed now, did the food shopping yesterday, the fridge is heaving!

Our Peugeot salt and pepper mills are back, I have missed them and our cute salt pig made by our niece Maia. These are pride of place on our granite work top saver/platter in the same Brazilian Titanium Granite.

The utility room, how lovely glossy and chic is this?! Love it! Our porcelain sink is in with our flexi mixer tap, LG washer/dryer plumbed in [I have really missed it after so many shrinking clothes at the laundrette!].

This is the old kitchen and provides ample storage, all the cleaning, laundry, Dyson, ironing board, towels, candles are stored in here.

This is a fab tap, was so handy in the huge clean up.

Huge porcelain sink and drainer board.

Oops I forgot and a toilet for downstairs at last! Orange hand towel to match the mirror - natch!

Pictured only because it's so tidy not sure how long it will stay like this, Ikea here I come to buy all those baskets I snort at!

Yes almost ready needs to go on the wall looks nice here for now!

View from the hallway, the garden is reflecting in those floor tiles!
