The Evolution of the Lounge

 28th September 2015: The Lounge 

The lounge is done!  So pleased with the eclectic vibe that it has - a fusion of wood/gold and cream that is warm and inviting!  Just have to replace the curtain rails which have decided they have had it! 






19th November 2014
A momentous day where our electrician came in to connect the electricity up in the lounge.  FINALLY!  The chandelier newly checked, cleaned and buffed looks sparkling with its new candle light bulbs! 

The room has acted as our garage for the last year or so - therefore the last task to do is to empty the room of the tools, paint and gib board out! Give it a good dust and vacuum; pop a bottle of champagne and celebrate the completion of this our third renovated room.

Our thanks go to Alice and Pierre from France for painting the ceilings and walls of our lounge!  They did an amazing job!


You need to zoom in to see the tiny bay trees!!  The larger ones at the garden shhop were too tall and spindly and we want to promote good bushy trees to make a hedge - so have to wait!! :)

Paint Colours
Walls:  Resene Quarter Parchment

Time for plastering finally.  Les put in some hard labour getting this done for us at his usual high quality! :)

The Electrics get a Facelift

We thought we should get the electrics checked when the lounge was getting stripped of its old linings.  The fusebox in the hall was also of a concern as it stuck out a lot so we have had it replaced with a brand new system. 




The new system has modern switches  and includes  RCD safety switches so there will be no chance of getting electrocuted or faulty wiring causing a fire.
