Bedroom re-organisation...

Wendy and I put the IKEA Single beds up and wow they are pretty large for singles which is good for our guests and the matresses are very confortable ;) in order to give more room to the twin beds and allow for the use of a "Put-me-up" bed in the twin room to make it a triple I suppose, we have moved the double into what we had first envisiged would be the Twin and the twin's into the double room and whalla this is the result - just in time for a guest tomorrow night.

I also managed to get another coat of Magnolia on the wall in the Hallway of the barn...

Magnolia magnolia every where I look.

Just finished putting a coat of Magnolia on the hall walls and ceiling - it took me all morning just to cut the edges in - so many angles - seemed a good idea when we were sticking the plasterboard up...

After 3 days of torrential rain the sun also come out long enough for us to get the double bed and other furniture out of the house and into the attic room so we can now officially say we have a double en-suite...

Coming along nicely thank you

Did I mention that I hate DiY and painting even more ? well I do but it is still good to stand back and see what has been achieved and how finally we are putting the finishing touches to the Attice and Barn.

Wendy has pushed on with painting the skirting boards and door frames whilst I put a 4th coat of "Magnolia" on the "Bunk-Room" walls and ceiling. I believe it could do with another coat but since using 20Ltrs of pain and only have 15Ltrs remaining we have decided to leave as is for now and use the remaining 15Lrs to do the Hall way to the Showers at least that way it will look finished even if we know it still needs another coat ;) This will allow me to buy some more paint when I pop over to ther UK for Bethany and her friend Evan in April, or hopefully Kay and Mark will bring us some out when they are over end of this month. Anyway this means I will be starting on the Hall tomorrow...

The attic is complete and as soon as it stops raining we will relocate the double bed and matteress from inside* the house to the attic room. That only leaves fabricating a new door to the outside and a headboard to fashion. (*once it is out of the house we can assemble the two single beds we have in the garage and have a "Twin room" and a "Double room" inside the house).

It's in colour so it must be true...

Well we have started painting in the Barn.

Wendy painted all the doors yesterday whilst I caulked the skirting boards and shower ends. I also took the time to tidy up the garages as they had become cluttered with allsorts of crud, materials, tools and other odds and sods. Now it is more organised and I even had time to carpet another room - the garage well the one with the Rocket in :) with old carpet taken from the upstairs bedroom, waste not want not.

Today Wendy started painting the skirting boards and doorways, whilst I put the first coat of Magnolia on to the walls and ceiling of the Bunk Room (yes one of the rooms in the barn). Phew it was monotonous work for sure and I will probably need another couple of coats before it looks okay. Then the hallway and toilets groan.

Wendy was feeling the cold a bit bless... But she still managed to do lunch and again Tea whilst I slummed it on the net...
