Home improvements!

So, my big achievement last Thursday was arranging for john Lewis to come and measure our house up for a new floor. This was an epic headache.
My in store John Lewis experience was appalling, but the call centre got everything sorted out in the end.

We've picked out the floor now from our final 3 shortlist and the measuring guy comes on Thursday.
We had a letter saying itsi 4 weeks from measure to fitting... And we thought we had better do the worst of the painting before the new floor comes.

We spent all weekend painting and dragging furniture about. The room looks amazing- so much fresher and brighter.
I also did loads of planting- so we'll have a beautiful garden to enjoy too.

It has been a tiring weekend, but the rewards are huge! We still need to do the ceilings in all the rooms, the white in the kitchen and the grey feature walls in the back bedroom.
We talked about painting the bathroom wall pale blue instead of brown too and looked at some new towels and vathrbat wares in M&S. But one thing at a time.
Definitely getting carried away!
