Woo hoo!!
The scaffolding is down and the skip is history. That skip that just kept on giving. To everyone.
We are done. The build is complete. There are a few little bits to be done as you would expect but our crusty old roof is soon to be a bedroom.
For the first time in six weeks, I have no men in my house!!!!
But we do have a new room with floors and doors and ceilings and skirting boards.
We have electrics and water and all those things that real rooms have.
And I cannot believe it.
I also cannot believe that someone is coming to clean all of the windows and the outside of the house. All part of the job. It does look pretty dirty as you would expect.
I am looking forwarding to meeting this real life Spider-Man. He might just make it on to my speed-dial list.
Move over Iron Man!
The white flooring is down and I hope that I don’t live to regret it. A few white rugs – that’s what we need! And a good clean.
And if it’s possible to be pleased with a door and skirting boards – we are.
The carpenter has worked his magic and we have a nice bit of storage for loft things.
And I can get to them without a tightrope.
In fact I can snake all the way through and out of the other end caterpillar style.
And the stairs, nice bit of carpentry skill here.
Visualise the pendant and breath!
And the bathroom is almost there. A sneaky peak in the meantime …….
Not that we will be drying our bits and pieces on a serviette mind. But the inspiration has got to come from somewhere. And if it’s a serviette, then so be it.
It’s all about the colour. Please note that all colours are subject to variation. Not the tiles though. They are going nowhere. Towels are the curve ball on this occasion. And blinds.
I’m delighted with the bathroom, it’s exactly what I had in mind.
Let’s hope the bedroom works too.
We have a little break before the decorating starts which means there will be nothing to report for a while so I will be back on the job in around a month.
And the new tenants (us) may even have moved in by then.
Like?

Top Tips For Your Loft Conversion
Yay! Love the floor…So exciting when you have it ready for the exciting bit…Decorating! Well, it’s exciting for the first hour of decorating…Then my enthusiasm wains a bit…That’s when you load up some more tunes on the iPod and hunker down.
It’s alright isn’t it. On the basis that it is going to take 3 decorators 9 days to do all of it (including the hallway), I am not afraid to say that on this occasion we are leaving it to the experts. We are alright with one room but I’d never be seen again if I attempted the hallway. And we can’t have that, can we! Not when there is so much to look forward to.
Oh wow what a fantastic transformation! I love the bathroom tiles! Gosh what I wouldn’t give for more space…although I’m in a Flat so I’ll have to move before I can get anything renovated. #BloggerClubUK
Hiya Kat, thanks – I’m a bit in love with them too – even more so because they looked how I wanted them too! I loved living in my flat when I was younger, it was my first home of my own – I have very happy memories. Thanks for stopping by.
The bathroom looks fab – the tiles are gorgeous. 🙂 It’s certainly all getting there now and it must be nice to have the scaffolding down and skip gone – you’re on the home straight! xx
Thank you Jenna. I do love my tiles. It’s all the nice bits now. Thank you for commenting.
That looks amazing. You must be so pleased as last time I checked you were far from this. Good luck with the decoration, now the fun begins. #HomeEtc

Thanks Nadia. Very pleased as you can imagine. We were very far away but it has gone very quickly and the exciting bit is about to start and then we can furnish! It’s going to seem really odd actually sleeping in there! Thanks for coming over.
This looks great and is such a helpful set of posts. Can we see a picture of your whole bathroom, and also what is the dimension of your bathroom? We are about to start a loft conversion and I’m interested in seeing smallish rooms, yours looks roomy from the pics : )
Glad it was of help Geraldine. I haven’t taken any more pics of bathroom but will take more when it’s finished. In terms of size 1.7 x 2.1. It’s certainly not big (I class big as being able to dance around it!) but it fits a full length shower and obviously the toilet and sink. Hope that helps?
Wow, what a transformation. It looks absolutely fantastic. I can imagine that you are over the moon with it! We are slogging our way through an extension build right now, with a nearly two year old to add in the mix — I’m surprised I haven’t found any grey hairs yet! But, it will all be worth it in the end…

Thanks Stacie. It is a bit of a transformation and we are really pleased. I imagine an extension is far worse and certainly with a little one but it will, of course, be worth it as you say. Thanks for commenting and good luck with your extension.
I love what you’ve chosen for your bathroom. That’s exactly the kind of thing I’d like for mine!! Xx
Thanks Kerry. I always had an idea in my head but you never actually know how it will look until it’s done do you. It is just as I had visualised – so I’m delighted. Thanks for commenting.
This is really coming together. I love those tiles!

I’m guessing you get my drift there Caro. Could do a whole post on the skip! Thank you – we are happy and the decorating finishes on Friday so we are about to enter the zone of happy. Thank you hosting #HomeEtc
