Yesterday our new joiner fitted our internal doors and our home is now looking so much more like a house again rather than a renovation project. It's lovely to sit in the living room or in our bedroom with the door closed; it makes everywhere feel more cosy and more private.
Next Saturday the joiner is coming back to fit our window sills and to build a cabinet we need in the living room. Then a week on Monday our new suite is being delivered. At that point all the work we were planning to do on the house for now will be done! We can just relax and enjoy our lovely home. We still need some more furniture and we have other rooms we want to work on but that will all come in time.
It feels like the stripping back, the central heating, the plastering, the joinery work has taken forever. It feels like it has dragged on and on and on. And for a while it felt like there was just no end in sight. Yet it's actually only 2 months tomorrow that the purchase of the house completed. From this side of it all, it seems amazing to me that we've achieved so much in such a short space of time.
It's amazing to see the end point in sight at last. And to see our home getting lovelier by the day. :)
