There was some extreme DIY and clearing away some of his Lordship's boxes into cupboards etc... Here are some snaps of the newly finished living room/kitchen area...
 |
| Living area, I put that shelf and mirror up (I've never done either before! A charmed life has been lead!) |
 |
| Chris has hidden the record player with '30s sheet music, I love the art work on them |
 |
| I made that shelf cup hanging thingy... ok it's not rocket science or very sophisticated, but I was never good at woodwork so am rather pleased! |
Chris and I also went on a bookshelf hunt, and ended up in a junk shop called "Aladdin's Cave". It's on the site of the old Lewisham Road Railway Station (not that you can really tell now). Such a great place for a rummage, just between Lewisham and New Cross Gate and very close to where Cecil Hepworth was born which excited me greatly (he's one of the first British silent film makers, whose studios were based in my old stomping ground... Walton on Thames. Some of his films are good for a giggle even today.)

Oh my, that's a lot of chairs!
OOOOH!! Aladdins cave looks ahhhhmazing!! As does the map and the newspaper (?) on wall in your new front room :)
Hey I'm impressed with the shelf/cupholder thing! I'm pretty good at stuff and I still think that's impressive!!
Ello Landgirl: Alladdins Cave is rather splendid. That's a map of Surrey and the South East from 1947... it's great as there's no M3! The picture at the top is a repro of the original tube map... all the lines are wiggley, it's most confusing :D
Thanks Straight Talking Mama... it's not fallen down yet, so it's gotta be good ;) x
