3rd Bedroom "Alexis'" almost there

I bought 2 chairs (one above) for 16 euros and painted this one dark grey and the other one bright yellow (in MK's room)

A little more varnish, a computer to move out onto the landing (when finished...yes I have started that) and window frames to paint and blinds to buy.....list is at least a little shorter:) but Alexis' room to getting there and he loves it!

Alexis loves his skittles (bought in local thrift shop).

Christmas has come early

New chair in bedroom and downstairs a new imac.

Our room is ready to paint sometime in 2011, we've even bought the curtains, but until then I shall sit in my rocking chair and read, surf and watch the world go by, when time and children allow. And in 2011, I'm going to learn to knit (again).

Floor finished..sigh of relief

The job I hoped to finish weeks ago, was delayed due to the fact that I was sick for a whole week , which is unusual for me. Anyway, I managed to finish the floor and the painting the other day, now I just need more varnish but have unfortunately been housebound due to an abundant snow fall (third time in the last couple of weeks).

I'll post better photos tomorrow, maybe even Alexis' new red bed (thrift shop find), when I have finished...yes you guessed....painting it!

pompoms

No baking today, MK made pompoms, well we made a pompom each using wool that had mini pompoms already on it, the result was a bit OTT, so we kept the second one "wreath" shaped.

Alexis' bedroom is coming on, I'm sanding and need more bands, lots more bands (used 4 up till now). Painting and varnishing should swiftly follow and he should have his room back for Thursday...still looking for a locker type wardrobe and another bookcase (found a bed, just have to decide between grey or red paint..)

Stopped!

The snow has stopped and so have I. J'en ai marre. Fed-up.

Take a look and the photo....what a mess.

Lets be positive, only another 6m2 to go, but that will wait for tomorrow.

Tonight Gaby's making Nigel Slater's Courgette Crumble so all's well that ends well.

More.....snow.

It's snowing again and it's sticking, but I'm too busy scrapping glue of floorboards, this time in Alexis' room, which incidentally one of the biggest bedrooms in the house (over 22m2) argh, hence my silence, as I really want to finish this room, and the landing and Charlotte's room before Christmas (one can dream).

I'll post some photos tomorrow.
