I almost couldn't believe my eyes tonight when giggling at a classic Only Fools And Horses episode featuring propane filled exploding dolls. I know they say trends and fashion go round in cycles but I didn't expect to see an almost identical predated replica of the fabulous new Designers Guild wallpaper I'd just used on...

Do Up Diary #57 Using SuperGlass Acoustic Roll – Just the ticket for noisy neighbours
Now the bifolds are in, we can start concentrating on what's happening inside the house. Getting the bare bones of any property spot on is so important before any thought is given to paint colours or Pinterest! We've lived in our house for a number of years before starting renovations and have done that very... Continue Reading →
Do Up Diary #56 It’s a folding frenzy as the bifolds go in

Do Up Diary #55: The finished cladding, the huge opening & the scaffold comes down!
After many months of hard work, slog and toil, something huge has happened for us in this last week. Not only are all the dormers water-tight, sealed, guttered and clad in ColorCoat Urban, but the scaffolding has finally been taken down and reveals for the first time what's actually been built! Until the moment the... Continue Reading →
#Do Up Diary 54 Jobs, jobs, jobs, but just one more day of scaffolding!
This feels like a genuine milestone. After several months of a spider's web of scaffolding all over the newly built and emerging 'West Wing' (cause it's the bit of the house which points due west), tomorrow is the day it all finally comes down. There's been so much to do this week, I can't even... Continue Reading →
