Well, it’s official, we now have bed space for 9 people – (2 King size beds and 5 bunks) plus two travel cots 🙂
We are getting there with curtains and furniture as well, although fitting curtain rails to our non-standard sized windows is proving to be a headache, so we’ve enlisted help next Friday from the professionals at Purbeck Furnishings- watch this space.
This weekend I have been very happily engaged in the wanton destruction of our shower room, ready for a new look – Lee Mowbray comes in later this week to begin work on the wetroom, which should be finished during half term. We are also hoping to increase the number of electrical points in each room to avoid crises over phone/laptop charging.
Tomorrow we are going to Lime Frog (Kitchen and Bathroom designers in Swanage) to finalise the look of the planned new kitchen. Our very own James Harding has agreed to fit the kitchen in March so we are hoping that all the main renovations will be finished in time for Easter. Ish….
Update: We love the new blinds and curtains, which add a much needed splash of colour to the rooms. I’ve also found myself enjoying up-cycling wooden cabinets that we’ve found in The Old Forge curiosity shop. It’s amazing what a bit of sanding and a couple of coats of oil can do!
And, in addition to the bed-spaces for 9 people, we listened to what our teenage friends had to say and have added a spare mattress under the bunk beds for those holiday sleepovers 🙂
