Yes it has been awhile hasn't it. I have been suffering from renovation fatigue and have been struggling to find the enthusiasm that I initially had. This build has been a two stage process. There was the first stage which was removing the 1960's extension and rebuilding a new kitchen/family/dining space. The second stage has been the reworking of the current sections of the existing house - with a long break in between them (Christmas, New Year and waiting on cabinetry.)
With the beginning of the second stage we have found ourselves back to the horrible dust and endless mess. 80% of the old plaster was removed from the walls of old kitchen and laundry sending dust across every inch of my house (I'm not sure how this happens but it does.) This combined with horrible morning sickness (I am currently 18 weeks pregnant) has meant the blog has been neglected big time, my apologies. Fortunately I am feeling much better now.
So here are a few photos taken a couple of weeks back of the old kitchen (which we are converting into a bedroom) and the laundry / powder room.
Old kitchen with larger window installed. The alcove below is where the oven was previously (this will become a study nook.)
Laundry with plaster removed
Plumbing done in the powder room.
Charlie with one of the many friends he has made along the way. This lab named 'Reefer' was particularly gentle and friendly and Charlie talked about him for weeks afterwards.
