That Gorgeous Carpet!!!

I thought I had better show you some pics of my beautiful new carpet...................

The first staircase. The bannister is going to be taken off and stripped at some point and then I will stain and varnish it in an oak colour.
The landing awaiting it's piece of furniture.
 
The attic staircase. This bannister will also be removed and stripped.
It is absolute bliss to hoover a carpet that actually looks like you've done something when it's finished.


Tea for tonight is ready except for the rice which I will cook fresh so I am having a bit of a sort out day in the dining room and tidying up some of my crafting and sewing stuff. I really want to get on with some sewing this weekend and I thought that if I have a really good tidy up then I might feel more like doing it.

It's another bright and cold morning with a little breeze but I don't think the towels will dry on the line so they will be going into the dryer.

DD bought me another bag of beetroot from work last night so that needs cooking. I will need to get another couple of jars for that so I'll get hubby to pick me some up when he gets up and goes into town.

Looking forward to seeing my Ruby tomorrow. I know I am very lucky to see her every week but I don't half miss her between visits. We bumped into her and Daddy at the supermarket on Saturday and it's just amazing how much she lifts my spirits.

Huh....I thought the fairies might have come in and finished the tidying for me while I wrote my post but no.......it's still there waiting to be done...lol.

Hope you are all having a fab day.

  6. I love the color of that rug! The oak stain is going to complement it well. I was curious though, what kind of furniture are you waiting for or planning to put on the landing? There is a bare landing in my home and I can’t figure out what to do with it. Seeing this made me think of project for this weekend. Thank you for the inspiration!
