Most stressful week!!

I’ve been having a stressful week … finally the wooden floors are to be done … but the delays have meant that I’ve moved out two weeks later than I should, stuffing up all sorts of other plans!!! Then the floor guy let the tilers take precedent over what he was doing, making another days delay. what was supposed to be less than a week out of home, is turning into two weeks … though I think I’ll just have go to back and sleep there with the fumes due to animal juggling (who wants a visitor with two dogs and a cat?!).

The floor colour is a beautiful dark colour … they’ve checked with me a couple of times to just make sure … quite convinced I’ll change my mind … but I really love the dark floor with the light bright walls and windows. It will look even better with furniture and curtains in. They’ve only got the stain on so far … and the varnish will go on over the next couple of days … but still a while until it can be walked on again.

I’m hoping they are able to continue working on the rest of the house … would be great if all the bathroom stuff was in … and the solar hot water connected. Christmas is so awfully close … and I have visitors booked in to arrive … I’m sure they would like a bathroom.

The curtains are ready to be delivered … can’t wait to see them all up. I’ve been working on the cushions for the window seats with my Mum … I just adore all the materials, and we’ve found some great edging stuff to bind them with. The interior designer had picked out a cushion size of 50cmx90cm … and I was wondering how I was going to find a cushion that size – but that is actually a king size pillow size, so although they were expensive fillers to use pillows instead of cushions, they are the perfect size! Photos to come soon of some of these … though it might be until I get the dining table in the dining room that I’ll be able to finish them off (need somewhere clean to sew vs in the dust!).
