Over the last couple of days we have swapped the function (and contents) of the conservatory and the dining room. The kids now have a playroom in the main house and we have a super large dining room with plenty of space in it 🙂 Hopefully the kids will manage to keep their new playroom tidier than before 🙂 We also migrated the Wii down into it to allow the boys to play with it in a more controlled location 🙂
So far so good… 🙂
Interestingly enough, Vicky just called up our insurer and by questioning the renewal has enabled us to get more than £100 off the quote AND an additional £150 of value added in :-). Morale of the story – always question stuff 🙂
Congratulations Olly – star of the week at Sunny Hill 🙂
His numeracy, literacy AND manners were on the top table this last week – great stuff Olly D !!!
As you can see, we decided to go for it – took a few days given the other things we have had on but the results are pretty good, although I think we have seen enough of paintbrushes and wallpaper for a little while 🙂
This paper was a bit more difficult to match up than the rest as the flocking needed to go a certain way and the paper itself was less inclined to be moved once in situ.
Anyway, I think we have proven that we can put up wallpaper relatively successfully (as well as take it down again – that bit is not much fun though). The port / burgundy colour we have put on the two walls adjoining the feature wall was a bugger to find – we needed up with one of the Dulux colours that they mix in store and even then it took four coats to get it right…. :-(. Not looking forward to trying to paint that lighter in the future – will be a swine to cover over given its deep colour….
Finally after two weeks the wheels are finished 🙂
They genuinely look like brand new and together with the new centre caps, Bruce is looking sensational 🙂
Painful ordeal overall and we are very thankful for being able to store the big fella at Grandma and Grandad’s garage in Kippax while the wheels were away.
