Making slow but steady progress

Yesterday, I have to admit, I was getting a tad stressed. It wasn't helped that I felt rough - I've been suffering from prolonged bouts of dizziness for about 4 weeks, so the thought of buckling down and doing a deep clean didn't appeal. This whole house staging takes a heck of a lot longer than I thought and as fast as I move forwards, I seem to slip back with equal alacrity! I guess if the house was empty of people and pets it wouldn't be quite so tricky :)

Anyhow, I'm feeling a bit better today, so I've decided to finish off the rooms which were nearly there rather than tackle a new one. By the end of today, the downstairs would be ready to photograph/view. My aim is then to keep that ticking over as I move upstairs. Two of the bedrooms are done (belonging to the two daughters who aren't living at home presently) and I've shut the doors to keep the cats out. I don't think ours will take too long either. The other two children's rooms may take a while longer to decontaminate!
It would be great to get the inside done by the end of the week, then all I'll need to do is a quick tidy in the garden.

We now have a staged lounge.....

As you can see, we have some by welcome sunshine today :)
Conservatory......



Downstairs bathroom ......


Slow but steady wins the race ....

    I LOVE your conservatory. I've always wanted one, but the house is facing the wrong direction. I can't imagine having to keep all the house tidy all the time.

      It is a fantastic room to sit and relax in. At the moment, I can't imagine getting all the house clean at the same time, let alone keeping it that way! :)

      Thanks. That was the painting that had been hanging in mum and dads hall. I love it on that wall :)

    Love the conservatory. Those aren't offered much here in Canada as our winters are just too cold.

    Good luck with the rest of your deep cleaning.

    God bless.

      Thank you :)
      I imagine -40 degrees isn't very conducive to sitting in a glass extension!

      Hello and Welcome! This has been a house full of love and laughter and we will miss it. Blue is my favourite colour, especially when teamed with white. I am always drawn to that colour combination! I should probably leave near the sea really!
