And I'd just cleared up!...

This is what happens when three guys are let loose in a roof space!

When I said it had been dusty a few weeks back, I didn't know the meaning of the word! This time every little surface is covered in a layer of soot! The final task this week, and the last in terms of the 'dirty' work in the house was to open up part of the ceiling on the top floor. 

Beforehand, the ceiling height was pretty low and despite the mess, it really has made such a difference to the feel of the space already.

Seeing as it's Friday evening I've downed tools (wallpaper steamer!) and I'm now cosied up in our soot-free flat with a glass of wine, devouring the January issue of Living etc which arrived this morning. Apologies for the dodgy phone pictures but had to post these images of the two stunning homes I'm drooling over. 

The unique and creative home on the left is owned by Nikki Tibbles of Wild At Heart fame, which has previously appeared in Abigail Ahern's 'A Girl's Guide to Decorating'. If you haven't already opened your copy....do it now!  

Have a great weekend. xx
