It is spring and time for a good clean and I usually move furniture I have no before photos only after ones.
Still knitting still cool enough and lets face it I must do something while watching TV, is it me or is it super boring now, I am very tired of all these do up houses cooking up a meal and sing type shows all the block people look to me like would be actors trying to get a start in tv.The beer fairs lounge, with his coffee table made in jail there is a story behind that (he didn't made it).
The little table was made by my son in wood work class at school.
The guest room my son and daughter in law are visiting next week.
I made the blue light shade it's got tiny little silver stars
Almost all gone
This the bench they always ate on because when Angus visits he just gobblies it all up in 10 sec's. I paint the doors on this cupboard every year as it's full of scratch marks well the two middle doors anyway.
New hot water system, works well and no leaks well so far anyway. Off to bingo now, wish me luck, goodbye for now...................

It looks like that's a lot of house to clean! Thank goodness I don't have to worry about spring cleaning for another 6 months.
ReplyDeleteNo not to big, only two of us now so stays cleaner.
DeleteMerle..............
Good luck at bingo. I like those ventilation caps in the laundry cupboard doors, wish I could find them in shops. I'll try Bunnings, take along your photo if I may, so they know what I'm asking for.
ReplyDeleteThat big grey lounge looks very comfy. You're right about TV; far too many of those types of shows, nothing decent to watch. I'd like to hear the story behind the coffee table.
The cupboard is very old and I tried to get some of those a while back with no luck, but you can drill a hole in the door and put fly mesh on the back .
DeleteMerle.........
There's a salvage shop here which has really old stuff, they might have some. I'll have fun scrounging through the shop anyway, it's one of my favourite things to do.
DeleteI like doing that too, you never know what you will find.
DeleteMerle.............
Merle, I love that black and white checkered floor in your laundry room. You've done a lot of spring cleaning at your house! I like the color of the tan couches in your lounge, and that couch looks so big and comfy. The guest room is charming with all the blues, and the light shade you made is cool. Your house is welcoming, Merle.
ReplyDeletelove, ~Sheri
The floor is just lino I don't like tiles on the floor much too cold on bare feet.
DeleteMerle...........
Ohhhh I love that lamp shade w/stars...your son and DIL will be sleeping under the stars. If you are still in a cleaning mode head over here
ReplyDeleteHugs madi and mom
