Living in a Sarah Kay world

Slowly and almost unnoticed the frenzy of renovation winds down a bit and I can come up for air today. Living room, kitchen and hall are almost finished - the last is still in transformation and upstairs, apart from the half bath we will install there, we only need to paint the walls, part of the wooden ceilings and we are ready to go for the wooden floors.
My kitchen is still only painted and equipped with a two burner ... no fridge (eeks) no dishwasher .. nada. I want my big fridge!!!!!

Movers will be here on the 24th which leaves me about a week to get rid of a lot of stuff and there is a lot of stuff that has been accumulated over the years.

Still don't know where to put all my books. His Hubbiness™ now occupies a room on his own because ... yeah well it's tax free. I told him his work room will then be a library cum guest room :P I will have my own little haven on the landing ... don't get me wrong the landing is just not a landing. It is a room of its own, airy, light and beautiful. I think I will make it a very sunny room with lots of yellow/orange colours with the wood ceilings painted a glaring cool white a perfect backdrop for the dark wooden beams that hold the roof. I'll make photos later.

Talking about photos. I finally managed to get my SD card to work and now I can download pix from my little Exilim to my computer :D

Tadaa ... if I had a floppy hat and patchwork dungerees I'll be living in a Sarah Kay/Holly Hobie world...

So far the summer was fabulous, the weather wasn't always good but all in all we had (and still have) lots of fun, lots of work and today, lots of free time :D
