Sarah finally
moved into Rose Cottage in April last year after weeks of hard work.
Sarah helped with the stripping and painting but Paul installed and
tiled a new bathroom and fitted a brand new oak floor and skirting
board throughout the ground floor of the cottage. Roof tiles were
fixed, new gutters fitted and the stone chimney was re-pointed. New
external front and back doors replaced the rotting ill-fitting ones.
The fireplace was ripped out and a beautiful new wood burning stove
installed. New carpets were fitted upstairs.
Sarah bought
new sofas, dining table and benches and bedroom furniture. She
finally opened the crates and unloaded her stuff that had come all
the way from Australia. A brand new chapter of her life had started.
So let's
start in the dining room...

Welcome back Sue. It's wonderful to see how Sarah managed to arrange such a beautiful house for herself.
ReplyDeleteShe's very proud of her little cottage.
DeleteNice to have you back again.....I love the blue wall. Will there be curtains/ blinds? Hope that you will show us more of the cottage soon. Good to hear that Rick is still with you and well!
ReplyDeleteThe dining room is still waiting for window dressing.
DeleteI love the rustic/viking look, it's beautiful. What a transformation.
ReplyDeleteSarah has definitely put her own stamp on it.
DeleteThat's lovely, Sue! I've never named my home and have no idea what I would call it! :)
ReplyDeleteI think the dwelling has been called Rose Cottage for generations, it is aptly named because the garden is full of roses.
DeleteWell done Sarah! Everything looks outstanding. Your combination of contemporary style and viking (table) is stunning. Juxtaposition really works. Love the blue wall.
ReplyDeleteI think it's my favourite room in the cottage.
DeleteI miss those days of doing-up properties!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see the finished project but I'm not sure Paul enjoyed the punishing work.
