Well, guess where I slept last night for the first time ever? And don't I look happier than a pig in muck to be on the spare beds mattress on the floor! It's smaller and lighter to lug down from the floor above but still more comfortable than the airbed would have been (though definitely not as swish as the bed that's coming for here.. I might share a little glimpse later.. it's going to be glorious (and a proper size.. a big lump like me has gotten very used to a super king… I've taken banisters out of rented properties before just to get my old mattress up the stairs.. my long suffering Pa has vowed never to help me lift it again.. it must weigh 150kg and is a very dead weight!). . The shutters that were the bane of my life for longer than I'd like to admit when I was unpinning and restoring them did a grand job of keeping the early morning sun out… And under the glow of the bedside lamps (plugged into an extension cable for the floor below!) cast a gorgeous glow against the blue walls.. during the day the room feels light and bright and elegant but as the night draws in its cosy, sumptuous and restful… I am bloomin' THRILLED! . I've still some bits of furniture to find for this room.. but I'm waiting for the bed to arrive to get a sense of space… And then to do a bit of hunting for some art… & then I think, finally, done! Thanks so much for all the lovely comments and messages! It is hugely touching and very much makes the graft this has taken all the sweeter! Happy Friday lovely bunch! . Previous collabs tagged inc. gorgeous paint from @fenwickandtilbrook (Burnham Overy) and the most beautiful linen bedding from @pigletinbed that is a dream to sleep under! . . . . . #bedroomremodel #bedroomdecor #bedroomideas #bedroomdesign #bedroomstyle #linen #linenbedding #lamps #bedroom #coffee #persian #interiors #apartmenttherapy #howihome #myhousestyle #sassyhomestyle #lightingdesign #gallerywall #bedding #luxurybedding #carpet #freshbedding #bedroominspo #bedroommakeover #bedroomgoals #housegoals #houseinthecountry #bed #bedtime #bedding

Ok, I know I said I was waiting for the bed to arrive for finishing touches but when something gorgeous (and cheap) rocks up on FB marketplace… Well, you can't watch it slip away.. so.. behold.. the new bureau for the bedroom.. complete with the last rose from the garden.. . From the very, very small amount I know about such things, I believe it's about the same age as the house which makes me happy.. I also love a bureau in a bedroom.. there's a romanticism around having a place to write late at night.. filling a diary or journal.. or a love letter perhaps.. not that I do any of the above, but that's not the point (do love letters even exist anymore.. it's all about swiping a screen and inappropriate pictures I'm lead to believe?).. It also means when I fold the desk bit out, for now, it becomes a beard oiling & grooming station that can all be easily stashed away! . It's a tricky spot for furniture with the window so near the wall and a doorway through to the party room (handy for late night Martini).. the previous owner had a huge bank of wardrobes along this wall and it meant you couldn't open the main door to the room and it hugely compromised the symmetry of the windows.. something I love.. with its angled top, this feels just right whilst and like it's always been in the house! Very happy indeed.. even if it is missing a few handles! Happy Sunday wonderful bunch.. I've lots of fun jobs today so will keep you posted x . . . . . #bureau #office #desk #deorgian #antique #sisalrug #shutters #rug #rose #singlerose #mirror #apartmenttherapy #sodomino #houseandgarden #architecturaldesigns #interiorwarrior #abmlifeisbeautiful #pimpupmypad #colourfiedhomes #colourfulhome #styleithappy #interiorstyling #apartmenttherapy #sodomino #bedroominspiration #beautifulhomes #realhomes

Well, this is bath number 3 for Admirals.. I'm not in love with the exterior colour, but that's easily changed.. but for less than what I'd spend on a (pretty lairy!) night out I'm a very happy man! It's made of stone resin so is warmer than cast iron, and a bit lighter too (important given this has precisely 41 stairs to go up to the 2nd floor!).. it's a lot smaller than the last bath you saw me posing in but rather comfortable.. . I appreciate this picture is #instatosspottery of the highest order.. sanding bitumen does not for pretty pictures make and I was excited to share the bargain bath… And well, I needed a giggle after all the sanding.. check stories for outtakes.. think I finally nailed the classic legs in the air bath shot!… . But as I was laid there in the sunshine in my birthday suit.. I had a little brainwave… To the right of this picture, in the corner of the roof terrace there will one day (you know, once the house is finished) be a sort of outdoor living room… Well, what if I built a big corner bench/sofa thing.. and within one of the benches, there was a flip up lid.. that hid… A bath!!! . Through these doors will be the kitchen.. so plumbing will be near.. and it can literally drain away into the roof.. yesss! The kitchen will also be handy for bath time snacks and booze.. and the terrace gets the sun later than anywhere else.. remind me again why I'm spending so long creating a beautiful bathroom when I'm clearly going to be bathing out here all the time! Ha! . Happy Saturday lovely bunch.. keep an eye out today for another #beforeandafter.. namely because I'm at the barbers at 8am… I cannot wait!
