The Destruction and the Rebirth...

I know, I know. This blog reads like a home improvement reality show, but I promise you my faithful readers that the journey is almost over. I will soon return to my previous life where I had something to talk about other than the price of floor tiling or the trials and tribulations of the home handy man.

But alas you are not getting off that easily...

I want to show you all how far we have some with the place and I will start up stairs.



The old upstairs had a large lounge and then a bedroom and a kitchen. That's it! now that we have renovated the basement it was time to make some space in the upper level by removing the bedroom.



¨The kitchen was in a bad way. When we removed the old units we found newspaper from 1968... and the rendering came off like peeling an orange. What had we done!



Those unsightly bricks were rendered again...



I gave the floor a sand...



Than it was off to Ikea...



Me doing the "cabinet making" duties.



Erling and I knocked up a quick plasterboard ceiling...



Rikke gave the roller a run over the walls and then next thing you know...



The carpenters came and we have a kitchen!




We now have a house that, although small has a nice feeling of space and heaps of light coming from both sides!



Coming soon... the final installment of the basement story. Then I promise that I will get a life!

Love
A
