Day Seventy-Nine

Finishing details are the order of the day.  We have hooks in all the cupboards and many of the bits and bobs still needing  done  have been done by Gibby  today.  These hooks are lovely, I am very pleased with them, I am hoping each hook will have a specific item on it belonging to my children.  Am I being unrealistic? Probably, I already know that!

Here are some more images from today. I’m in a rush tonight, off out for dinner with work colleagues at the ‘new’ Pizza Express in Morningside which is a converted church, looking forward to seeing how it has been done.

We have carpet in all the bedrooms now.  At last, it took lots of phoning and checking but it is here.  Everything is getting closer to completetion upstairs but the mess downstairs has become quite overwhelming.  That’s another story.

At least my new bedroom is clean, clear and tidy!

where the bed ended up for now.

It took a lot of effort to get our trusty bed up there, the quilt cover is brand new and I absolutely love it. Any guesses who it is by?  The furniture conundrum continues but I am now content to use what we have and scour gumbay for what we need, not that I know what that is yet. There are a couple of recent purchases I must show you once I’ve got them in situ, another another story.

Other Stuff

Rice do great colourful, practical and unusual items and are based in Denmark.  These bowls and plates were bought in the Ness sale in darkest winter and I found them under my bed (with 1000 other things including lots of dust). Have a look at their delightful website here.  The coloured glasses are another favourite of mine, I have large and small in lots of colours and recommmend them wholeheartedly.  cups in previous post

I am trying out a different theme for the blog tonight, I’m not sure if it will stay or go, what do you think?
