Who in his right mind would let a 17 month old baby play with paint?

before ........


after ....... the room at the far end will be the laundry and the wall on the right still needs to be cleaned but that can be done after we move in.  For now we are focusing on priorities.


 This here is the view from the terrace of the main bedroom, which is also overlooking the yard/garden. The terrace is tiled but the room is still in shell form. 


This I think is my most favourite room of the house. It's slightly wider that what I could get in the photo.  A lot of work has been done to make this room look as it is .  As you can see in previous posts I have mentioned once or twice that things had to become ugly before turning pretty.  First of all this was not one room but two smaller ones.  We kept the original tiles but had to take them out  clean them and place them back to be able to do wiring for electrics, plumbing etc.. where you see the white pipe sticking out from the floor will eventually become part of the kitchen and where the cooking will be done. In the meantime works are being done on the extension of the top floor and the stairs.  The latter part involved an unbelievable amount of dust :((  but alas once the works will be finished the house will start looking wonderful... well at least in my standards ;)

I have decided to re arrange the blog.  So far I have only managed to change the design a little.  I will try and update a little more often, however at the moment I have my hands full with projects :))  Here's a photo of my little one who thought that the bottom carrier of the pushchair is a fun place to be :)
