I think I've sussed it!

Well I've cobbled together some way of uploading photos - it's not ideal, but I am so desperate to show you some of the lovely rooms. Then house is just as beautiful as I remembered it. In fact, it's larger and more homely than I remembered it. There are some seriously wacky colours on the walls and many of the rooms are rather tatty, so that will take us time, but despite that it already feels like home.

It seems like such a long time since I last posted properly. We moved in on the 8th but then didn't have Internet for over a week so I wasn't able to post then. Anyway, we are in and mostly settled. The move went very well and my youngest daughter and I managed to unpack over 30 boxes in the kitchen whilst they were unloading and building the rest of the furniture, so I gave them all of those boxes back (I don't think they wanted them, but I had enough to deal with..) Fortunately this house has a boot room which was completely empty so it looked like this after a while - floor to ceiling cardboard boxes:-


We have two lounges, so we've turned one into a music room/snug. It still some decorative work (woodwork, waxing the doors and some smaller things to do), but we have made loads of progress already. The idea of this room is that it's a relaxing space - for hobbies - like playing music, reading and just relaxing. No TV allowed here! Jet also has his 'bed' in here so we can all hang out together.
What do you think?

  3. Am delighted that you are finally settling into your new home after a tense few months.
    It's lovely to hear that it feels homely and large enough for everyone to have space.
    How have the animals settling in?
    Has Jet been given the all clear and what about the cat who seemed to be anxious and displayed it in irritating ways?
    Enjoy your nest building! Sue

  11. It's going to be a beautiful home and I wish you all the happiness you deserve in it. We have only one tv so our family room and bedrooms are tv free so I'm with you about a relaxing room without tv. Looking forward to seeing how your home develops-I think you have done wonders in a very short time.Catriona
