It's not done - I was assimilated into the world of work (something I find challenging!) and it is taking up far too much time. Only here to write this as I wimped off sick today....
Once it is looking as nice as your lovely house, then I will post....

Sure.......just move some things around, too - make it look good

You can post pics of your Ikea 'construction', too (I love building that stuff - my mum always said I should have been a boy!
)

Seriously - sorry you're not feeling well, though; and hope it's nothing terrible
But.......seeing as you're up to posting on here, you could maybe manage to take a picture?.....and post that, too
lol) As for my house - you're confusing it with the one that's for sale (but still not completely finished, either). The one I actually live in - almost every room looks very similar to the 'tool shed' we call a bedroom, that I posted a pic of here ages ago!
The good (I hope) news is - we have a man coming on Monday to discuss the state of the place, and figure out exactly what needs doing now that we've got the other guys lawyer off our backs! I have a feeling though, that even if we hire them, they won't be able to start 'til Spring!

Nice Kitchen though! (I can see past the mess, and visualise what's to come; and if it's any consolation, my house makes yours look like a show home right now!
)Hope you feel better soon
