all in a weekends work

we have lived in this house for about eighteen months now,..and at every turn i find things to improve on,..alter,..paint,..fix,..change,..etc.

this weekend we finally got around to painting the floorboards in the bedroom and stairwell white.

i have always wanted white boards in a bedroom space.  i think it looks dreamy and ethereal.

the boards in our loft bedroom were recycled, and horribly ugly.  too ugly to inflict you with a before picture.

but,..check these out.

this is the landing halfway up the stairwell to the loft,..  all white now!

the gorgeous 50's dress found a new home on a custom made hook.


we still have a fair bit to do in the space,..install a retro ceiling fan,...hang some mechanics 'trouble' lights over either side of the bed as bedside lights,..and finish the painting.

i feel quite pleased with how it is coming along though.  we have claimed one more room in this house.

enjoy your day everyone
