Our first try at wallpapering x

Hi guys,

It seems as if it was 5 seconds ago I was writing my last blog post, and already it is the end of April already, how soon has that come around?

For those that follow our progress on facebook you will know that we are ALWAYS doing something, usually every weekend is taken up doing something or other, however when finally sitting down to write this blog i'm as a loss about what to write about!

I guess the bigist thing that we are currently planning (by planing i mean saving money big style) is our kitchen. I will write another blog post about that soon, but all I will say is that it isnt what you would think that mark and I would get. we have spent 5 weekends now getting quotes from different places, we have gone to wren, magnet, b and q, wicks, and finally howdens. The howdens quote has been the hardiest to get as we have to go through our builder garry, but they have come up quite alot cheaper. We are just waiting (patently...ok mark is waiting nicely me not so) for his quote to come up for the fitting of the kitchen and all of the other jobs involved in it. But I finally know everything that we want so that is half the challenge.


So today I wanted to share a few shots of our lounge that I have taken over the last month or so. Its not completely finished yet, but mark and I had a go at wallpapering. Okok...it was more mark than me, but I did help, and considering he had done it for the first time I think he did pretty fab.

As it was our first time I decided to use quite a cheap paper (because I have huge structural plans for in here in 2017) but one thing at a time.

The paper was from B an M and is a mix of tropical leaves and colorful flowers which I love, there are pink flowers and teal butterfly's on it which pick up the teal from the sofa and the pink of the curtains. (please ignore the floral canvas I have removed it now, it didn't relay go)

I also have had another bash at buying plants again, this lovely is from wilko for £2. And my new friend the flemengo is from primark.

 I also found something to put the TV into, but i need to find a way of covering up the glass doors.

And finally I covered my radiator cover with marble sticky paper (Fabilon)

I hope you guys are all having fun now the weather has started to pick up, like I say we have so many plans over the summer with family and friends aswell as at home. I have my birthday in june aswell as the birth of my second nephew,, we have our holiday in greece planned in july and who knows when the kitchen works will begin!

Love to all our family and friends
