Welcome to our fabulous new guest toilet!

But don't worry, you don't have to spend your whole visit with us in there ;)

Moving stuff: part one

Today the boyfriend and I rented a trailer and stuffed most of my stuff that's in boxes into it and got it off to the house. Left in the flat are most of the furniture and all my clothes and the cats, but all will be moved next Saturday (exept for the sofa that's moving to my sister's place and some other stuff that will be off to a flea market) and then we officially live in the house :)

This week the bathrooms will be finished and the plumber will come and move all waterpipes into the garage and we'll have the dreamhouse we've worked so hard on all summer. Can't want to live there with my pussgurka <3 

bathroom tiles are done, just some cementing left to be done 

guest toilet was wallpapered by myself and the boyfriend and this tiny room took us four hours to complete :P But then again, we are not the most experienced in wallpapering but the end result is looking really good!

Imagine

In a few weeks time we'll have a bathroom and will be able to actuallystart living in our house. Right now we have to go to the local supermarket when nature calls and I can't wait to be able to use our new lovley rooms! 

 

I can totally imagine what it'll look like in my head, I just hope the end result is so much better than that anyways :P

Today we did the "bed side" of the bedroom and tomorrow we'll hopefully wrapp it all up in there with painting the closet doors and putting the radiator back up. Then the plan is to move lots of stuff in there so we can get started with the other rooms.  

 One more coat of paint will be added here and then the boyfriend will put in a new floor on Sunday :) Painting and wallpapering is fun coz you see the result! More to come soon... 

What's been going on lately?

We went to Landskrona and bought this great used pull-out sofa I found online. It weighed a ton but we got it from the trailer to inside the house with some willpower!

The boboyfriend went for his first swim in the ocan for the year (that's him on the bridge!) 

pretty rosehip flower on the beach 

And bbq for dinner *yummy*

A beginning of a wall is up between the bathroom and guest toilet! Yay!! 

Went to celebrate my nephews birthday and met some new family members, Leah (on the photo) and her brother Leo *meow*

bedroom celiling is painted white 

and walls are now painted basil green

and I've finally begun painting the horrible wood splines in the kitched- to be continiued!

We're working on a pipeline (as Depeche Mode once sang)

The plumber was busy yesterday in our house! Old pipes out, new ones in and I have no clue about how they're gonna get it all together in the end but I can't wait to see the result :)

ancient pipes it seems

the plumber had to dig to get things done! 

 

future guest toilet 

So it has begun!

The little white brickhouse is now really ours and work has begun with getting it up to our standards ;)
The boyfriend and his brother tore down the bathroom and guest toilet to the foundation last weekend and this week the carpenters have chopped up the floor so new pipes can be laid and walls can be moved to make the bathroom bigger and guest toilet smaller.
Two guys have changed all the windows this week and now we're waiting for the last metal work to be done outside and then we can start cleaning up after them. It gets plenty messy when changing windows :P
But now it's all in motion and I can't wait to see what will happen with the bathroom from day to day once they really start working on that and see it grow into something so nice!

So far I've been busy peeling off wallpaper from a wall in our future bedroom + peeling off paint from a hideous wallpaper that I totally understand why the former owner painted over, but I just wonder what kind of shitty paint she's used coz I can pull it off and it's all rubbery :/
