Big Week Part 6. And It's Over!!

So we wanted to lay a carpet for sound insulation and we needed to complete this as soon as possible because the noise heard in the basement was unbearable.

It started here

And ended here

We are very happy.
We are slowly moving things into the room asking ourselves still are we carpet people?
Things going back are slightly different because I like the space and the feeling of empty. So it's more things on walls rather than on floors.

AND NO FOOD IN HERE!


Have been sitting at the table doing thank you notes from T's birthday

and making birthday invites for P.
Her day is coming up soon.
3 blondes coming for a play date
That is going to be interesting, no gluten or eggs.


Meanwhile when you clear a room it has to go somewhere.

Upstairs it looks like this and its a fraction of the devastation

I have put all the washing away and made some decisions about things that need to be gotten rid of.
So it's about 80% there.
But Christmas is about to be thrown together so I am not sure if the big sort will happen until the new year.

Things are peaceful again but then T broke up from school today so who knows how long that will last. Both of the girls are not sleeping well at night one tells me she is having nightmares and the other has decided long naps during the day is the way to go so going to bed at 7 is out of the question.

I should easily be stir crazy by Saturday

The Girls Room Update

So, despite running things while i am either stuck in bed or on the sofa, G has been using every spare 5 minutes to try and finish the painting of the girls new room. We have started to move the toys in from the spare room so the we can continue to dump everything into that room because we have found it is easier to sort through carrier bags of stuff in one room than from all over the house.

T&G nicely painted. Thank you so much

Fireplace now on the wall and another shelf added. Thank you G.

So this is a sneak peep, the light was rubbish so i didn't take anymore photos, but all the painting is done except for the back of the door. We are going to line the furniture with a wrapping paper I've seen, but it may take time to pick that up from the shop, then we can choose a colour to paint those items, probably pink too but maybe we will plump for a cream or green or my personal favourite, grey.

There is still so much to do and i want it to be irresistible to them so maybe they'll sleep in there rather than coming in with me. Its quite a spacious room and really rather echoey, i still need to make curtains and buy bed linen, beds and all the other dust collecting things that little girls like.

maybe better light tomorrow
have a nice eve
