The (almost) finished product

We've spent many a weekend over at Holly Loft during the past year & a bit but we are almost done -  we still have the en suites to install & we'll do a proper kitchen nearer the time when it's going to be properly occupied.

So be prepared, this update is going to contain lots of pictures.  Here's a reminder of what we started with...

Entrance Hall & Stairs

Lounge/Kitchen Area

At the moment this is my home office & a home gym

Ben's Room

Right now we've set this up a guest bedroom (wishful thinking for a future when we're allowed to have family & friends stay overnight again) but the flooring is all Ben's choice and I am very jealous of it!

Amy's Room

Is upstairs and we haven't really fitted this out yet other than to start putting in some wardrobes but there is a surprising amount of room in here given it's in the roof area

Nook

On the balcony overlooking the lounge area we have the Nook.  This is a magical little bit of space that we somehow managed to eek out of nothing.

We used to have a limited edition IKEA bookcase which was covered in Shakespeare quotes but they don't make it anymore so Amy had me create something similar.  These bookcases are covered with book quotes that all mean something special to her - really pleased how these turned out

The view from the Nook downstairs is something else

Hope you like it.  It's kept us occupied during lockdown that's for sure and we've discovered skills we didn't know we had along the way.

Long time no post

It’s been a while hasn’t it. Since our last post in November we’ve done a lot more painting. There were areas which just didn’t look right so we had to do a tonne of touching up.

But today was a good day as we took delivery of the flooring.  Some awesome Marvel flooring for Ben’s bedroom (very jealous)

and some more subtle flooring for the rest of the house.

Let’s hope it works better than the flooring in Holly Barn which, let’s face it, was a disaster!
