House Renovation. One Year On. 03.08.12 (late, grrr!)

I thought I'd left this as a "scheduled"post to publish while I was away on Friday. Obviously I did something wrong as I've just noticed it didn't post. So my apologies for this being late.

I'm getting a bit bored of writing the same description again and again on rooms that you've now see countless times so I'm going to try for a briefer resume this time.
