My friends sent me this cute word cloud of my blog. I'm going to print it off and put it in my new kitchen which is green :) Have you any word clouds?

This is just up the road from my new home, a short hop, skip and jump...

Along the lake shore, taking in all the scenery as you go...

 the views, the tranquility...

 along the gravel path...

 and back home again...

and then to sit down and look at this out the back window...

Oh to live in the countryside and take it all in!!

Some before and after images, not quiet finished yet though!

1 and 2 are images of my main entrance hall which is double height, I have yet to get my stairs,as you can see from the images above we have moved the old wooden steps out and replaced with a ladder for a while. Number 3 is my study/library which is up in the eaves. It's my hidden room and all that is left is the light, skirting board and door. I used some laminate flooring my dad had left over from his house. 

The exterior of the house is progressing very slowly. We decided to put stone on the porch and here it is! It was too expensive to put it all over the front so I think the porch built in stone adds a bit of character to the house. Excuse the mess outside!

Just to cheer you all up on a Monday :)
