Setting up house

The heart of the house is the kitchen. Our house underwent a heart transplant over the weekend, and by the end of this week, the kitchen will finally be finished, electrics connected, and ready for culinary creations. I am so excited.

When Andy and I got back from Bath, we went straight to the house as the first big piece of furniture had arrived. Our sofa, in a million pieces with a one inch thick instruction manual on how to put it together. I took 45 minutes out to thoroughly read this thing before assembly. And it took us 5 hours to put it together. We started at 2:30 and did not finish until 8. It took complete teamwork, there is no way one person could do it on their own. Andy and I were buzzing from our weekend that we didn't even notice the time go by putting the sofa together. When it was finally assembled we both felt such a sense of accomplishment. I collapsed on the sofa to relax a moment to take it all in. Renovation projects are hard work, even if you are paying someone to do the work. But in the end, you look back and realise it's totally worth it. Our granny house has underegone major change. Welcome to the ultimate entertainment lounge.
