I decided that it wasn't that exciting an intermediate piccy, plus it's hot here and I'm being lazy.

That dog could be MY dog!!! Exactly the same size/shape; just ours has a little Brindle on his lower legs!
I love that room - superb architecture. Looks very classy since your magic touch, too!

The young girl (well twenty something) didn't have much of a sense of humour though. She looked totally blank when I asked her if she could tell whether it was a boy or a girl and could I have a picture to take home to show my wife.

I go the the stress version next Thursday.

I just peeled off the fern-embossed wall paper one Friday night in a fit of boredom. It was a lovely flat but I'm finding life easier now that I don't have to worry about the maintenance costs of keeping/putting it in good order.

The Master bedroom in our 'other' house
The before pics aren't so good (again), they were taken when we viewed the house before buying it - basically it was a plain white 'box'. Those curtains hung way above the window from the ceiling, were a good 12 inches short of the bottom of it...lol
