August 1997 - The Lounge
Diary Years  
       
       
       

 

While the boys were being constructive in the kitchen, the girls were being decorative in the lounge.

Painting the lounge ceiling Paint, paint and more paint! Ceiling panels, beams and walls - will it never end?.

(Note the multipurpose picnic table)

Painting those beams

A morning of leisure and a visit to the local Brocante in Gorron brings our first piece of French furniture in the form of a 'Vaisselliére'.

Dresser 'before' As it arrived, on the left. Grubby, a single piece of yellowed frosted glass in one door and broken drawer handles.

Transformed, on the right. Cleaned and polished with new glass and drawer handles.

Dresser 'after'

With the painting complete, additional furniture in place and pictures on the wall, the lounge at last looks like a lounge and it has that 'feature' ceiling at last.
