Homemade home update.

Hey everyone!. Hope you are all well and enjoyed your weekend. I was very lucky to get tickets to take the children to see the gruffalo stage show on Sunday. It was fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed it and have been singing g g g gruffalo since.

 My husband missed out on all the fun and was at the house.  But look how well he, and his dad, have done.

The hallway and stairs are really starting to some together.



The first coat of blue was applied.



And already I am so pleased with how it looks. I can totally imagine how it will look once the floor has been painted and the fabulous light has been hung.

The lights were fitted in the bathroom this weekend. They have really brightened it up. Its amazing what a few spot lights can do for the ambiance of a room.

Now just to find some flooring!. Having a nightmare as I want blue and white checkered floor. Can it be found?. Erm... a... big... fat... NO!. It looks like we may have to go for the black and white. Still very lovely though.

So as you can see, slowly but surely our house is starting to become a home.

Pretty lights.

I had a really fun hour today picking out a few bits and pieces for the house. As  I will soon be allowed to start adding all my touches!.

 I have been looking at lights, and boy there were a few to choose from! And paint for the stairs/landing area.

 Here are some of the lights I love. I think they will look fab with our decor.

Skandi light by tesco £30.00

I think either the blue or white will be perfect for our lounge. We need two as we have a long narrow lounge/dining area. One for each end.

Maskros paper light by Ikea £51.99

How lovely is this?! Its pretty big but as we have a large landing and stairway I think it will make a real statement against the blue walls and white wood floor.

And this is the wall colour I hope will show this stunning light off. 

Homebase marine blue in silk.

What do you think?. Can you imagine it?.
