Re: Renovating Nince Towers
Your bedroom looks so lovely and calming! I really love the setting plaster in there, it looks so good.
Moving and unpacking is really no joke, it's really good that you can take the time to sort through stuff though. Honestly, I still have boxes from the US that I need to sort through
Hurrah for the kitchen table fitting!

Your house looks gorgeous nine, and don’t worry about unpacking, we moved here is the december and I don’t think we were fully unpacked till early Feb, you need to find where things “fit”

Re: Renovating Nince Towers
Back down to earth with a bump now. I have spent the morning so far sorting out aggressive debt repayments (it's all at 0% so I am preserving some savings and paying the debts off before the 0% period ends).
Next step is making sure the kitchen is in the right state to be painted on Monday. Oh, and more unpacking/decluttering (and work).

You're an amateur Jude - I still have a couple of boxes lurking from a January move Unpacking is the biggest ballache.
Hope the finishing touches all go well Nine, and that you finally get some time to enjoy it!

Re: Renovating Nince Towers
Do they have to take the doors off to paint them, Nine? This is probably a silly question
Not long to go now! Please show us a picture of the kitchen when it’s completely done :nosy:

They should. Only my front door was painted though (the rest are wood [indoors] or aluminium [outdoors]). My moronic decorator did not take off my front door to paint it, or indeed open her eyes. It’s fixed now though.

That's a lovely bedroom colour, nine.
It’s like a normal midlife crisis only with more chandeliers and foreign languages.

Your house looks fabulous. I don't think I've ever had a house that was all newly decorated at once .

Re: Renovating Nince Towers
I am very much enjoying having a big kitchen with lots of work surfaces and a window and not having to go outside to the fridge, dishwasher and microwave I’d got used to cobbling together meals in a space that was smaller than some people’s wardrobes and having to put pans on the floor.

The painter’s previous job overran so he’s starting tomorrow #neverending

Re: Renovating Nince Towers
My kitchen’s current status:
I’d already had to patch up an area of peeling wall paint (revealing fresh plaster) when I first moved back in. Unfortunately I’m not sure the walls were primed properly, if at all, as this tape is taking off the is the wall paint.
I think I’m going to have to get the room repainted but I’ll make a call on it later.
It didn’t happen when I had my units painted in my flat and the kitchen spray painter says it only really happens when the walls haven’t been prepped properly.
The colour match looks good though.
It feels neverending.

Re: Renovating Nince Towers
Sounds like they haven't been mist coated. I'd be having more words with your builder if he employed the painter.
Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either, just fuck off and leave me alone.
