Lost a week due to dust!

So before the pictures--I have always HATED living in my husband's dream house.  Saying that since it was purchased I have had to make due with every room and attempt to make the most or best of a very bad layout for the last 15 years!  We are finally at the stage of doing the one thing I said would make the house more comfortable for me and a family by giving me a large farmhouse style kitchen/dinner.  So after nagging for 15 years to remove one measly little wall in the house I am finally getting my wish. For those of you who know a little bit about me I am not a very patient or quiet sulker so you might be able to imagine a little of the digs and comments regarding my living conditions.  If I was more like my Grandmother and could I have found the jackhammer, I am sure I would have swung it hard and many times long ago at this very wall to get my way.  But it is here and I am going to share the before and after shots with you.  Bearing in mind it took my builders 3 hours to get the wall down!

The wall coming down-lots to be moved

The dinning room as it is now

The kitchen side of the wall coming down

Crazy Log Cabin.  The sissers patch is only about 2X1. 

After moving all the items from the dinning-room and kitchen I did not want to get broken I decided I deserved a break to do something creative before I lost my workspace.  When Glenn got home we would be needing to move the china hutch, display case, and the dinning-room table; therefore putting an end to my sewing space for the moment!

And now the way the new space looks!  Curtains up to keep the dust from going everywhere.

Now for the flooring to be decided.  I am thinking poke-a-dots  in bright primary colours, then lime green for the walls with a hot pink blackboard.  Let me know what your thoughts are.













So to the side you will find a link to the photos taken during Aurelia's recent choir tour to Toulouse should you care to have a look and try to find her!  https://skydrive.live.ocm/redir?resid=D3499EE637BC30F7!15382&authkey=!AOmprFmbqTTxyoY.

Look for a new post later today or early in the week showing what the room looks like now and the new purchases for my addictions along with the progress on my Tunic!
