Do you think western humanity will grow up after that?<br /><br />Oh, and I remembered the lino. You know those woven grassy mat things with squares of wound-round-itself grassy stuff? It was printed with a design like that but the squares weren't grassy coloured, they were orange, blue, yellow and black.Kay Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14541008443624925424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641064280714116088.post-89301302487503190572012-02-29T14:21:17.419+00:002012-02-29T14:21:17.419+00:00Wow.

The curtain is ringing bells in the back of my memory though. ::shudder::<br />It's all looking very different now, but I'm not going to post more pictures until we've finished it all off - I want the final transformation! We've got half the floor, some painting, and the blinds and lampshades to do.<br />I wonder what the people who'll move in around 2030 will think. "Cor blimey, it's all so disgustingly bright. So 'teens'. Yuk, let's put some black and grey in."Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02840431195234661911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641064280714116088.post-80835190609186475252012-02-24T15:35:37.940+00:002012-02-24T15:35:37.940+00:00cue dry ice... cue spooky noises... cue filtered s...cue dry ice... cue spooky noises... cue filtered spots circling aimlessly... cue voice of the ancestors...<br /><br />That's evolution, that is. You should have seen it when *we* moved in. Of the lower level cupboards, one set were navy blue and white melamine, one set olive green and one set sort of orange woodalike melamine. That left one set with no doors at all, just a fetching blue and orange curtain. The top set were black and white painted wood with copper door-knobs; the walls were vari-coloured, two being woodalike melamine (a totally different sort to that cupboard of course) the other two wallpaper with a pattern of large blue jug things and even larger green jug things. The lino was a 1960s design that was so traumatic I have succeeded in completely forgetting what it looked like. <br /><br />I liked the slanty cupboards though (after we'd stopped them being black-and-white-with-copper-knobs) because you can have reachable storage all the way down to the worktop without banging your head on it.Kay Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14541008443624925424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641064280714116088.post-8710492939290258332012-02-22T13:24:09.947+00:002012-02-22T13:24:09.947+00:00Linked to your blog from Kindred of the Quiet Way....Linked to your blog from Kindred of the Quiet Way. Looks like a fun project. We gutted a kitchen years ago, with four kids and electric skillet it was like a 2 month camping trip. Oh and I hope I never have to dishes in a bathtub again :) But when the kitchen was done it was wonderful and worth the sacrifice, plus the kids kind of enjoyed the novelty of camping in the house.Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14484707482492844677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641064280714116088.post-91534014156437017752012-02-22T08:36:44.100+00:002012-02-22T08:36:44.100+00:00Exciting! :0DExciting! :0DPen Wilcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818227904371811230noreply@blogger.com
