Been a bit quiet around here this week hasn’t it? I’ve been kinda busy, I have a new/rehashed project in the works that’s taken up most of my evenings. All will be revealed next month.

  • This guitar is like a stick of rock, and I like rock. On another guitar related note, RIP to the legend behind the modern electric guitar Mr. Les Paul who died yesterday.

That was short and sweet, hope you had a good week guys, and an even better weekend. I will be celebrating Beardy McBeardface’s birthday and eating an ostrich burger.

Just a quick post with some photos I took of our kitchen last night. All of the cupboards are now in, and most of the fronts are on (they need adjusting though). It’s starting to take shape! We can actually use it as a functioning kitchen now, too. There are more photos on flickr, including some of the fancy things the tall cupboards do!

The amazing hob, it’s just… amazing.

Hey guys, hope this makes up for last week’s cold induced absence. This week’s been a good one, if a little too warm.

Whilst we were away, our workforce put the new carpets down in the bedrooms. The carpets are pretty plain, due to the fact that we wanted to keep the rooms bright and not fussy with permanent decor (read, we’re hanging lots of art), also because the house has bled us dry we managed to get two fabulous roll ends for the small sum of £180. These have covered both the bedrooms with extra bits left over (which may or may not go into the small room, depending on how much may be left from the stair carpet).

bedroom with carpet

Complete with ikea kitchen drawers. Also, that cabinet used to be in our lounge, but I think the wood colour goes really well with the blue, don’t you?

light fitting

New landing light fitting. It’s bigger than we thought, and quite fussy – I like it though!

bathroom bath

New bath! With tap, wow, taps are expensive! We bought the bathroom tiles this weekend, too. But that’s an exciting secret :)

Just a quick post on this bank holiday eve, we started painting the kitchen over the weekend, and today I finally got to see the orange! Check it out…

The bottom photo is more true to colour, it’s super nice and bright. Can’t wait until we have actual cabinets in there! Also, we move in on friday :D

What great weather this week kiddles, summer’s on its way! Wahoo!!

  • I love this video, I saw it last week I think and I’ve watched it a few times since. Such a great concept :)
  • Shopping around for kitten things ready for when we get our bundles of fluff in a few weeks, who knew cats needed seatbelts?!

  • Nice to see this room on design sponge, the colour scheme is pretty much identical to our new living room, the green is almost spot on!

fountainofbooks

  • tsktsk Naughty disney, or incredibly resourceful. Check out this neat resemblance montage, it’s really super interesting!

hamburger cupcakes

  • Hamburger cuppies, I can think of nothing cuter! Made from a combination of vanilla cupcakes, chocolate cupcakes and various colours of frosting!
  • Tomorrow we’re sanding our living room floor :O And I’ll have photos of the colours we’re picked and painted in the lounge and bedroom.
