Kitchen Upgrades

Recently we've been working on redecorating the kitchen.

Over the last 10 months we have slowly replaced the cooker/oven and microwave, and in the last week we've repainted and rebuilt one corner with new IKEA units.

I've been recording it all with the GoPro, and have ended up with 24,000 photos totalling 77Gb! My 7 year old MacBook Pro is struggling to process them into a video, and the upload will take a while, so here are some photos of before, during and after:

I will post the full video soon.

Bedroom almost ready, Bathroom painted

Its been just over 3 months since we moved in, and the bedroom is nearly ready. Carpet and furniture is needed, but it's already looking a million times better than the floral decoration when we moved in.

We quickly started on the built in wardrobes

The bedroom is already starting to look warmer and feels much bigger than before.

The bathroom has also changed quite a lot

No decoration yet

Looking better

  

 We have a new shower curtain and pole and a white toilet seat arriving soon.

Spontaneous Bathroom Painting

While finishing off the painting we did yesterday, we suddenly decided to paint the bathroom white. The original decoration wasn't great, and just looked odd.

About an hour later and we've nearly covered the odd texture of the previous decoration

Painting the New Bedroom 2012

So, after a month of being moved into our new house, we've got some stuff done.

We've concentrated on the bedroom so far. We've removed the built in wardrobes, stripped all the wallpaper off the walls, removed the carpet and generally cleared everything out. The crack in the wall was filled in by Becky's dad and now we're ready to get decorating!

I started some painting on Tuesday and we both finished the 3 grey walls today. I recorded a short time lapse video on my old Canon IXUS 80 but it's not ideal. I would love the fisheye field of view from a GoPro, but never mind.
