The beginning - May 2014

Finally the proud owner of an old and slightly wrecked house, I'm going to post photos of the progress made turning it into somewhere I want to live, as I have promised friends & relations. Here goes:


Alexander House

For those who don't know, a joke between me & Chris was that we would buy a B&B when we retired, and call the house 'Alexander House'.  So, in my mind at least, this is Alexander House, though I'm not so sure about the B&B... 



Grand Entrance




Sitting Room




Dining Room




Study


This room was the bathroom, so there will be quite a bit of work needed here.



 Kitchen

And this was originally the dining room...



Utility Room




The Old Kitchen


...will disappear - I want more garden.



 Main Bedroom




Shower Room



Guest Bedroom 1




Guest Bedroom 2




Bathroom





Work is going to start on the 9th of June, I'll try and keep the progress posted.

  1. An exciting project indeed, Sue. Even these pictures really don't show the enormity of the task! You must have thought me mad when I offered to come round 'with me paintbrush'! Looking forward to seeing the transformation.
    (I'm glad you've decide to keep the cerise walls in GB 2 tho' ;-)
