Ch-ch-ch-changes





A very exciting set of photos here - well, they are for us, because today the builders started on the conversion of the garage into living space!
.
We had been busy decorating the kitchen (replacing a very dark unpleasant orange with ivory) and painting the tiles in the toilet now that we have a new suite there. (Yes we bought the right undercoat - does anyone know if you can paint tiles in a shower - I mean to cope with the force of a shower, as the tiles in the bathroom are really YUCK!)
.
Photo 3 shows Tine in the spare bedroom taken from the garage. Photo 4 shows Tine (again) in the back 'store-room' again taken from the garage. The last photo is taken from outside the 'store-room' (about to become a shower room) looking through to the garage. As I said, not very exciting!

Kitchen and loo look brill. I wouldn't paint the shower tiles, it'll come off when you use the shower. Have a look at www.bathroommarquee.co.uk. They have got some wall panels which can be placed over tiles. They sound good.
The other option would be to tile over the top of the original tiles within the shower area and maybe paint the rest. Good luck anyway, it's great to see how your home is coming along. Love A & B xxx

Je suis d'accord avec Nadine, tout cela est très sympa.
Et je dois dire que même moi qui suis une orangeaddict (!!) je préfère votre cuisine en ivoire, cela fait plus spacieux et plus lumineux.
j'attends de voir en vrai...
