Every now and then VT gets a project to do. Today he has decided to give our extension/Dining room a makeover. It is about 15 years old, and is used probably the most in the house.
He went off to the carpet shop this morning and came back with two books of carpet samples. What a time we had choosing one! The one that is down is a lightish green and we wanted a change,so we were trying the samples against all sorts of surfaces. A lot of them were very light, so not suitable for that area which takes a lot of wear, both from us and from the cats in and out all the time. We eventually settled on two..funnily enough one called Coffee and the other called Espresso. The Espresso one was slightly darker, and went well with the brick in the room, and also the pine things we have.
He then decidied to take the curtains down and we will take them tomorrow to Formby to Johnsons to get them dry cleaned. They charge by the metric yard!!!! as if that means anything! God knows why we had to go metric at all I still think in Imperial. Too many years of pounds and ounces and feet and inches to replace with the metric equivalent.
So...it is all systems go. Ceiling to be done, skirting boards to be varnished and things to be cleared out. Lovely. Must take before and after photographs.
Tonight we are having:
Quorn style chicken and mushroon pies
Squashed potatoes 4oz
Carrots asparagus and beans.
Maybe a touch of a light gravy..
