The log burner - going at last

This afternoon we have christened the log burner. So far the smoke is going up the chimney rather than into the room!

There's a lot of heat from a little stove!

Uccle en Fleurs

Last wednesday we went to a reception in the maison communale and received a prize in the Uccle en Fleurs competition. We got a certificate, as well as some tulip buibs and a gardening book.

Lighting - Living/Dining Room


After a little stuggle the Laura Ashley/eBay special chandeliers are up and working. They look great and really add to the room that is almost finished now.

Dining Room Wallpaper


Emma spent saturday hanging wallpaper in the dining room, its a duck egg blue (the same as the paint) with silver pattern and looks great.
The final things to do in the living/dining room now are the lights, 'plumbing in' the fire and thr skirting along the wall with the wallpaper.

Sunflowers


The tallest sunflower is at least 12ft. They're all very impressive.
