Finally we have a lounge

4 months to the date we moved in, our lounge is taking shape.  The carpet is down, the decorating is finished and we're starting to unpack.  We're still waiting for delivery of some new bookcases and an AV rack, and umming and ahhing about lighting but we're getting there.  Dining table and chairs are still all packed away for the time being.

Here's some before and after pics for you......

Here's one to show our new triffid light which was an absolute bargain from a furniture shop that was closing down ('scuse the flash reflection on the wall).

The new vertical radiators are brilliant, they really push out the heat and as well as being a 'statement' they have actually freed up a lot of wallspace as they are only just over 300mm wide.

So what's next?  We're still looking at kitchens and think we've found one we want, we're still just sorting out the finances for it.  The hallway is also scheduled to be completely re-plasterboarded and skimmed and then the spare room.  For now though, the main living areas are complete and we're just enjoying unpacking and rediscovering all our books, pictures and other 'stuff'.
