Renovating again

When we bought this house we spent the whole summer before we moved in to renovate, new bathroom, guest toilet, new floors and new wallpaper and pain in almost every room, except for one... This passage/hallway was left coz the carpenters were moving a wall, drawing new water pipes, fixing the electrical cabinet and moving the water heater that was in this room for 40 years, and there's no drain here! Thank goodness that Nibe makes quality stuff :P
Well, now we finally have gotten around to fixing it and we started with tearing down the old wallpaper which was a horrible wood chip wallpaper and it revealed the horrible green wallpaper that also tore off in places.

A few weeks ago we did the floor with the boyfriend mixing the floor spackle and me pouring it out, and it's fab to finally have a  somewhat normal floor again after 1 1/2 years! 

And today we put up renovation wallpaper and the room looks 10 times bigger with all that white! But we are far from done... Still have to paint some walls, another wallpaper is going up on two walls, a pvc carpet is going on the floor, splines are going up and hopefully we'll find a really good wardrobe solution at ikea and then we'll hopefully be done!

To be continued...

Painting plans and tomato plants

Tomorrow our 40 year old water heater will be long gone and we'll have a new one that hopefully will last just as long (we're getting the same brand) and also lower our electricity bill! The isolation in this old one is probably not the best and a new one will also be so much more efficient.

A friend of mine told me about this amazing paint called Chalk Paint by Annie Sloan and after some head scratching to decide what colours to order I got Old White, Graphite and Provence + clear wax to apply after the paint has dried which is supposed to happen super quickly. I haven't had the time to try it out yet but hopefully very very soon! I got so many ideas :)

I'very planted five different kinds of tomato seeds and four of them have grown quite a bit in the past few days. Let's see where this will end :P

Vincent lyeing on my belly

I found these two benches on a flea market page on facebook and after much anxciety and abit poorer I could call them mine! I just haven't paid for them yet or picked them up but on Saturday they are moving to our yard! They will be painted with some Chalk Paint and maybe some black glazing paint, I'll know when i see them for real :)

I've printed out some of my instagram images and framed them in these special frames you use for old LP records. Turned out quite nice I think :)
