River Cottage So Far...

Dear Friend...
Oh my can you believe it...
I have a lounge room...
The floor has taken a week...
Lots of blasting with the heat gun....Lots of sanding...By hand...
And yes it is at a very rustic stage...But I am really happy...
I haven't moved in yet...But hope to next week...
I have hung up my Black Apple prints...
and they look fantastic!!!
I have had these for quite a while and I am so glad that I now have
the perfect place to hang them...
and even better I have great natural light...
This is the first house that I have been able to take good photo's of inside...
And I am looking forward to taking a lot...

Oh yes I will miss the green weatherboard wall I always use...
Hmmmm but not for long...

I have a great place to put my Grandma cushions...
Well as long as no one wants to sit on the couch...lol...
I do have a mile of other goodness to go up on the little shelves but
I am trying to take my time so I don't hammer in nails and have to re-arrange later...

And now I am getting excited that for once I will have a nice space to sit and relax
and not be surrounded by toys...
Yes the kids have their own rooms and are big enough to keep their mess there...
Well I am ever hopeful...
So dear friend I am just a little thrilled to show you...
and hope that in between all of my crocheting...renovating...and de-cluttering
we get to keep chatting and keeping in touch...
Hugs...Michelle...

  5. G'day Michelle
    River Cottage is coming along nicely... love that mirrored cross you have in your shadow-box section wall... it sends a lovely light onto the other wall...
    don't forget what they say 'Rome was not built in a day' OK so try not worrying & enjoy the process... B
