Another great weeks progress

Like the coffee cup, I thought it was quite funky but not sure if I've over-done it on the paint.? Just kidding, it's awesome.
Other areas slowly starting too be finished off.

Another great weeks progress

Getting a bit tired if the house in a constant state of dust and disorder but is starting to come along quite nicely.
This week have finished off the skirtings in WC. Finished painting in hall, just put the past coat of satin clear on all the timber work. Looks quite good if I say so myself. Is not a perfect sanding job so keeping some of the 'character' from decades gone by. Very please with the result.
Just when all was nice and tidy. The living room fell under the scraper and ambitious eye of captain DIY. Big plans for this one.
All paper stripped bit a few issues with plaster... Update to come on this later all going well.
A few other yummy and cool things around the place.
Buddy's says a hello and thankou for the bone (and kennel).
Les comes in a great help again as a trailer from Bunnings.
It turns out ceiling roses and plaster arches take quite some considerable time to paint without excessive running of paint...
Sorry, not sure how these blogs turn out from phone. Not sure if I can insert photos and caption each but is so much easier. So, oh well. Have a great Sunday all.

What a productive day...

Decided today was a good day to get a bunch done about the place.
Several trips o Bunnings over the last few days and I have lots of paints and a few new tools to play with.
I bought a set of French doors last weekend and a bunch of colonial skirtings and architrave.
Sanded and painted doors. Stripped door frame. Painted WC. Sanded remaining timber doors and trim.
Stripping lining paper turned into quite a job. Not sure what to do with it now. Open to suggestions but it will all need a skim to smooth out.
Ready for the new WC window, kitchen and side board to arrive. !
