There actually wasn't an awful lot 'wrong' with Project J's bathroom before we started work last week, other than that the wrong paint had been used straight on top of bare plaster / board and had started to peel off in the humidity, plus the radiator needed updating.

Project Pizza gets some new extra high skirting to match the originals
Unusually for a rental apartment refurbished in the 70's, Project Pizza has retained a handful of original features, namely the extravagant ceiling rose in the living room, the elaborate coving (see below) and finally the only remaining extra height original skirting boards in the building, which I really wanted to keep.

You did it, you made Valentine’s Day count, thank you x
Firstly I apologise for the tardiness of this blog post, I know many of you have been dying to know just what happened following our Valentine's request last week. Chelsea wasn't well over the weekend and didn't get home from Christies until Tuesday afternoon, feeling tired and low. I didn't see her that day but... Continue Reading →
