Rabbits & Hedgehogs on the walls

We’ve lived in our 1950’s house for 29 years and upto 12 years ago it was a semi detached bungalow.  When the neighbours said they wanted to put a first floor extension on we said we’ll have some of that.

Actually they wouldn’t have got permission if we hadn’t extended ours as well.

At the time I said I don’t want a upvc door like everyone else.  After much eyebrow raising and sucking in of lips and shaking of  heads by the builders and joiners they agreed to fit what was once an interior hall door as a front exterior door.  It won’t last they said.  Well sorry to prove you wrong boys but 12 years later and it’s still on and hasn’t warped or let in water once.

Since the build we’ve never put a lick of paint anywhere and now we can no longer close our eyes to the dirty walls anymore so we’ve taken the bull by the horns and called the decorator in.   

The wall of flowers is going,  well most of it anyway I’ll just keep a few.  I’ve going back to wallpaper.  Your toes might curl up when I tell you it’s got rabbits and hedgehogs on.  You’ll have to wait for the reveal to find out I haven’t gone soft in the head.

The hallway is getting a makeover with a tartan paper and new carpeting for the stairs.

The en-suite bathroom is also going to be having a few rabbits and hedgehogs running around.  Looks like they’ve started chasing the ducks already 

And so it begins.

Hope you’ll pop back for the after shots.

It’s took a while for us to get round to it, not wanting the hassle if it.  But now it’s getting very exciting 

See you soon
