In between doing a lot of uni work and Dr Freds Stargazing exploits we are finding a little bit of time to do our house. It is really starting to look like we live here! Realising that I only have a finite time left to do college stuff and by the end of May my degree will be all but finished, we decided to leave the bulk of the house stuff until then - although Dr Fred keeps saying he wont be here all summer he has Munros to blag... so I will be busy...

However we decided one room could have a make over so we have one place that says we live here - its actually a longer process than just decorating as I believe houses need to be lived in and personal ambiance acquired slowly as possessions take up their rightful place and rooms evolve over time. But we have to start somewhere so we spent a weekend when our expected visitors had to cancel and we stripped the anaglypta wallpaper - some satisfyingly easy huge long bits but some incredibly tedious wee scrappy bits - and the walls we fine, so we lined them out and then over the next week simply painted it a lovely shade of teal blue - it looks fab - we have hung a few of our favourite pictures - its still very bare by my standards but it will evolve.
We still have the carpet to replace and I need to find some curtains but its really starting to look like home and is a n incentive to think about the rest of the anaglypta removal!!!
