One down, two more to find…

I’ve just bought a second-hand wooden door on ebay for just £12.50. It’s slightly narrower than a normal door and so just the right size for our little ensuite loo. It’s described as a “Solid Pine 6 Panel Door” and being narrow, it should fit into our hatchback car, meaning we don’t have to pay out…

Choosing a kitchen floor

  After much deliberation followed by an impetuous ebay bid we have made a decision on the kitchen tiles. I’d originally hoped to have reclaimed quarry tiles for the floor of our kitchen but the size of the kitchen makes this a little tricky. We need around 20m2 of tiles if we tiled the whole…
