Fireplace and Boys Room

Progress has eased off a little of late. We are currently still waiting for the bank to (hopefully) approve a small loan so we can get the roof done and the house rewired. However we have still managed to get a few things done :)

I bought some gorgeous seeded linen from The Remnant Warehouse and a sewing machine from Spotlight and made some curtains. So far just the one pair but I bought enough fabric to do all the windows in the Dining/Lounge areas.


We also fixed up our fireplace. I was hoping to be able to make the space inside usable for shelves or something but it was revolting and would have taken a lot of work and sanding bricks. Maybe if we'd done it before painting but with the room almost done we decided to just block it up.




Lastly I also started painting the boys room. So far the walls are black as chosen by them and one feature wall I have painted with constellations for my astrophysics loving boys:




Hopefully in the next few weeks we will be able to make the boys bunks, paint the floor of their room and install their wardrobes!
