Our front door - with a porch -ooh lah lah!!

Hall with minton tiles...all a bit wobbly and some cracked but a good project to repair them one day! So nice to have some space in the hall unlike our little narrow corridor and struggling in and out with the pram!!

Too much wood. Looks very 70's 80's pinetastic! Do you think we should paint the back of the front door? Am definately painting the surround.

Painting the hall (actually the WHOLE house) white

Have booked the painter in to paint the kitchen, he is going to sand and paint all the wooden cupboard doors too :-) We are removing the hideous fireplace around the aga and having it all plastered so it looks a bit more contemporary. Am slightly nervous to use it as know nothing about it! Will be good in the winter when we cant afford to heat the rest of the house...and can live off jacket spuds ;-)

The red room, seriously hideous...red shiny, laquered walls, smells like they have smoked in here too and the ceiling is a bit nicotene coloured!!! White White White....am thinking to paint the fireplace white too??

The kids are using it for their playroom - they love it!

This is the front room, going to be our living room eventually, white again, but in quite good condition at the moment so probably one of the last rooms we will do. Has a warm carpet in which is fine for now, very dark because of the big tree out front...which we are going to thin and maybe cut down.

Not sure what we will do with all the boxes as when the electricity is done they need to take up all the carpets, floorboards etc!!!Argh!

This is currently Woody's room but may move him up to the little tiny room upsatirs..it currently looks like a squat and reminds me of the trainspotting scene with the baby in the cot in the corner...not good! Think I am going to try to paint this room myself when we are back from holiday..going to need lots of coats as covered in grafitti and random colours!!

Bathroom, which is on a bit of a slant!!! Not sure what is going on thier but floor probably needs to be lifted...it needs a big facelift..new taps etc etc...but the bath is great, even fits me lying down!

Dolphin stencils!!

Spareroom/ studio maybe? Nice and light all day so may use this as my office/studio

Our room :-)

Our en suite!! (never thought I would be saying that!!) Bit rough around the edges but fine for the time being.

Storage - yahoo!!

In the attic..Lola chose this room, was planning on having it as a studio but she loved it. Quite quirky with all the little alcoves, cant fit her cwardrobe up the stairs and the windows are down to the floor - so need to get toughened glass as absolutely petrified of Wooddy launching himself out..and it is so high!!!
