Paint Finishes
Simon has completed the plastering and painting of the walls. Well done SIman!! The original stone walls are exposed in places and having been cleaned and regrouted, look amazing. The room is taking on a French cottagy vibe. It should look very pretty when finished.
The wooden floorboards are already laid, although covered for protection and not visible in the photos. I’m looking forward to seeing the floorboards exposed as they should add a further rustic feel.
