Laptop issues (coffee vs keyboard) and a lack of progress on the flat have meant no posts for a couple of months. However, I should have a new laptop keyboard arriving this week, which will hopefully mean a blessed relief from using the immensely tedious on-screen keyboard (click…click….click .. “the”.. etc). Also, in the last few weeks my builder has been really busy, installing doors, repairing cowboy window jobs (no lintel! massive crack!), putting up lighting, loft ladders and making real headway with all the remaining works. We may even be starting on the bathroom next week, which is hard to believe. I had a minor setback last week when my upstairs neighbour’s bathwater made a break for it through my kitchen ceiling, but it’s not as disastrous as it could be.
I’m almost back in business then, and have all kinds of posts in my head ready to go just as soon as I can actually type these from home. I’m designing my own bathroom tiles, I hope, so will be blogging about that. I have a confession to make about my designer fabric habit, but also some tips.
In the meantime, if anyone has any good tips for salvage places in London (or online, I guess) that would do light fittings, from lamps to ceiling lights, that would be really helpful!
