A quick update and the long-awaited worktop!

So this is what we're referring to as the bar, pre-plastering!

The new units are finally in!...

...but the rest of the house is still chaos! Nice chaos though!

So, drumroll please... 

here's the new worktop in all it's Lavender glory!!

It really is such a gorgeous colour! Even dad commented on how he liked it! These were taken on Monday night but mum say's it's even more vibrant in the daytime. Better bring your sunnies when you visit!

I spotted this fifties shade in an antiques shop on our trip to Devon last weekend and thought it would be perfect for the house. Luckily mum agreed....carrying three glass lampshades on a packed train was definitely a mission! More image updates to come tomorrow. Night night, or should I say good morning!! x

Saturday sneak peeks

Mum and I went tile shopping this morning! Main bathroom...check.

...and this is being delivered in a week's time. Can't wait!

We sourced this reclaimed hardwood parquet flooring and thought it would look great throughout the ground floor...you don't even need to spend hours cleaning it, or laying it....all you do is close your eyes and POOF...it's all done! Brilliant!

Sunday morning fabric hunting

While I'm waiting for more pics of this weekend's wallpaper stripping, wall demolishing, and general wreckage of the house, I thought I'd show you a fabric we have been looking at using in the breakfasting snug in the kitchen. Weirdly, mum was looking through an old Mulberry fabric swatch I had in the office last week, loved the fabrics and hey presto....we came across this fabric from the collection in a shop on Sunday... at an amazing price too!

Think slightly kitsch, ice cream vans, retro holidays and Battenbergs (!!) The last one... it's just what springs to my mind! ha.

The fabric will be great with what we are thinking of using for the kitchen worksurface, but more about that later!
