House Renovation. One Year On, But a Bit Late. 15.08.12

Well, would you look at that? A year ago we got a front door!

And one year later, the front door is a slightly different colour thanks to some woodstain, and we even have a letter box.
And we have a house name, some pretty flowers/pots by the front door and an outside light.

The junk has been cleared away from the left side of the photo and hubby has planted some 'cottage garden' flowers (which the caterpillars appreciated); the unsightly bush to the right of the front door has been hacked back (and will one day be removed for good.) My list of things 'that must be one day be done' also includes moving the unsightly drainpipe round the corner - why did it have to be plonked there in the first place, I ask myself?

Step inside the hallway and have a look at the understairs cupboards in progress. When we bought the house this was just an open space; we thought it would be better if there were doors across it so we could throw in our junk and keep it out of sight (and out of mind - because, honestly, who knows what's in there?)
One year on, the doors are painted, they have handles, and there's a bunch of coats getting in the way.
And there's the other little cupboard. Before.

The plumber assured us that the wiggles would straighten out in the shower hose, and he was right.
