Yet more DIY

And yet more photos of our work in progress. This is what the fireplace looked like this morning after lots of banging and bashing with a hammer and chisel yesterday (my husband worked very hard and decided that he didn't need to go to the gym for the next few days!).

I also stripped some wallpaper and found a glorious shade of caramel (that's putting it politely), which matches the carpet perfectly. I hope that wasn't planned by the previous owners. The ceiling has been skimmed and that is a very similar colour too - looking very tan-tastic in the lounge today!

These are our dining arrangements. The camping table folds away after breakfast.

My girls stripped the wallpaper for me. They did a fantastic job, not sure why they needed to wear wellies though.

As a complete surprise, the folding doors were fitted today - I only found out this morning that they were going to be fitted within the hour, rather than after this coming weekend. Will do another post soon with photos.
