A bigger house!



Nope, we're not moving. But Steve in his (almost over-enthusiastic) DIY mission has enclosed the weird workroom area under the kitchen. For those of you that have seen the house, you might remember the downstairs bit as having this really odd not-quite-a-room area at the back. Well, it now IS a room, with two lovely new -double glazed- windows (bought in France). It might be the only double glazed thing in the house, so probably doesn't do much for insulation, but still... a poc a poc!

Anyway - I have posted more pictures up on viewfromtheroof. I've put them in a new album called The House II. Because it would appear that the other album has over 50 photos in it. And getting a bit tedious to go through. SO the new album has pics of the downstairs in progress. Including my fabulous zebra print mosaic tile floor! The downstairs bathroom isn't quite finished yet - still need to put the sink in and finish off the wall tiling... But the toilet works! Wow - fancy that, we have TWO working toilets in the house now! I'll put a pic of the finished article up soon - we've finally used the Vince Ray tiles on the wall. We'll never want to sell the house now. Shame that we never managed the Stephen Einhorn taps.. but there's still the upstairs bath to do... (unfortunately, I can't see Einhorn's prices coming down...)

Other news - we went to Barcelona the other day for a quick jaunt. Went to the AutoRetro show which was good - lots of lovely lovely old cars. Shame we never see them driving around. Stayed at a really nice hotel called B-Hotel on Placa Espanya. Great location, great hotel, friendly and not too bad price-wise, considering it was Barcelona. Awesome roof terrace! We (sorry, I) booked the room through bookings.es... Highly recommended. Would like to nip down there again, but with a plan... wandering around BCN aimlessly never results in much unfortunately, it's just too big.

And that's that with the updates... Enjoy the pics!
