We're moving upstairs on Monday!!!! (21 May)

Super exciting. We are moving upstairs on Monday. Now that the carpets are in there's nothing to stop us.

I've decided to hire mini-movers to move all our furniture in one go. That way we won't have to break mu husband's back or criple any of our family and friends.

At the moment we are living in our lounge, which is being packed up in preparation for them to tear down and fix our kitchen ceiling, our bedroom and the study which is CGs tempoary bedroom. The big issue is that we are having to store everything from the study and CGs old room in these three rooms.

We are also still living with plastic over our doors in an effort to try and stop some of the fine building dust getting into the rooms we are still living in. I really, really cannot wait to be sleeping upstairs and to feel a bit less cramped.

this is our entrance foyer and the louvre doors to our lounge which have been sealed for weeks.

The staircase is finally in.Which means that we can have carpets installed. Yay then we can move upstairs.

Feature wall in the nursery. The trapdoor goes into the original roof over the lounge.

Kids loo is complete.

These tiles are what inspired the bathroom's colour.

The landing. As you can see the carpets are going in.

The light fittings over the staircase are ones we found at a fete. They cost us R10 each.

The feature wall in our bedroom.

The view from where our bed will be. I love that you look out right into our big tree.

Our bathroom cabinet which we bought at an antique store. We painted it and gave it a new formica top.

My big luxury was this huge oval bath tub. Mmmm can't wait to relax in it.

CG enjoying his new room. He loves to just run round and round in the empty space. We have this joke that we won't put in any furniture (just a cushion on the floor in the corner for him to sleep on).
