We are at last settled in and most of the furniture is now in
situ.
The living room was the last room to be furnished, the settee arriving
at the beginning of December and the rug 4 days before Christmas. Nothing like being last minute! I have put off updating our Blog as we have a
couple of plinths on order and a black cube side table have yet to arrive!
Here is the latest photo of the living room.
As there is quite a lot of empty space with hard flooring we have been
experiencing problems with acoustics.
The room sounds quite 'hollow' especially when the TV is on. Not sure if curtains will solve the problem
as when the blinds are down on the patio door it makes no appreciable
difference. We then tried bringing all
the sheepskin rugs from the bedrooms to lay on the expanse of floor, still no
difference. Think it might be time to
bring in an acoustic engineer!
My next job is the cloakroom. I
think the people who built the property must have lost the will to live by the
time they got to this cloakroom, or run out of budget. We understand that there is at least 30 lorry
loads of concrete in the foundations alone so by the time they had furnished 3
bathrooms, I can understand how they lost interest. Anyway, this is how it looks now.
I do need some storage so I am putting in cupboards across the back
wall with a back to the wall toilet. The
plans have been made I just need to order it!
Next instalment soon!
