The Kitchen Floor

The Kitchen Floor

The stone floor tiles were delivered to us a couple of weeks late at the end of April due to some of the original batch being broken. This would not have been a major problem except for the fact that Adrian the tiler had then moved on to a new job. So we had to wait. He eventually turned up on 18th May - almost 4 weeks later than planned.

the knock on from this is that the plumbers couldn't get finished, nor could alex the decorator. So things are a little behind whatever schedule we actually had!

But, that said the tilers have worked pretty quickly this week and we now have a tiled, but not yet grouted, kitchen floor.

The tiles came from Natural Stone Tiles in Abingdon and are Jerusalem Limestone.


We have laid the tiles in an Opus pattern consisting of 3 different size tiles - 90x60, 60, 60 and 30 x 30. 









And it looks pretty good so far!



Built in Wardrobes...

While waiting for the stone floors the carpenters have started on the wardrobes. Danny made the frames as he suggested they will look more like they had been crafted as opposed to the builders doing it!

Craig build the wardrobes into place and Alex is now well underway with painting them (as at 15th May).

this is the spare room with the loft access behind.



this is Lucy's room...








and this is Emma's room...

with shelves now added...


Danny also made the doors in his workshop so they all look pretty neat. We now just need to choose some handles for each one.
