This is how the downstairs looks now...

Front room

There isn't much in here at all at the moment.  Just the TV, sofa and a lamp!  I don't want to put anything else in until I'm sure about it.

This is how it used to look...

Then this...

Then this...

So although it's not finished and looks pretty bare, I'm still glad that it is decorated.

This is the hall, stairs and landing as it is now...

Not looking that great.  There is a lot of work to do in here.  Firstly, we need a new front door as the current one is really old letting out so much heat.  Nearly all the walls need plastering.  The floor needs tiling but we wanted to continue the tiling from in the kitchen/dining area.

So much still to do!

I don't like to think about the amount we still have to do too much so here's some picture that I took in the garden to distract myself...

Pretty purple flowers

rhubarb in pots and a peonies soon to flower

the Hawthorne tree already has little white flowers
