We've painted the ceilings, the walls, the woodwork but the hard work was the preparation..
It's starting to come together now.
The floor sander arrived today and the 1st stage of preparing the 90 year old baltic pine floorboards began. Tomorrow he does the edges and then the first coat of varnish goes on the lush grained timber.
Within a week we can start redecorating the hallway, sitting and dining rooms.
Can't wait.
Meanwhile - this is our family room.
You're not going to want to leave when it's all done! ;)
ReplyDeleteWCS - Think about living in highly populated San Francisco and then where you are now. Which life do you feel more comfortable? Moving around rural France has introduced us to a more relaxed lifestyle plus we'll have more funds to do so when we sell. All good.
DeleteI was thinking "I wonder where they've put all the furniture".......then saw the last picture!
ReplyDeleteBon courage!
It will be really nice to get the house back in order and start redecorating. More photos to come Jean
DeleteIt's looking good. I was going to say what Walt said... it's so nice that you won't want to leave. But I understand the reasons for your change. Best of luck.
ReplyDeleteAlways good to hear from you Craig - What is happening in your life these days.
DeleteHa the last photo looks like us when we have a fit of painting but we do try to do one room at a time. When it comes to floors though it means a grand removal. Have a good weekend D & N xx
