THE BED DECK IS HERE!!! YIPEE!!!..

"Oh my god" That was my reaction when I saw my newly fitted bed deck last night!! It's huge!!

The Germans from Stil Art (part of huf) arrived yesterday morning to fit the bed deck (best described as a bed thats raised up towards the ceiling and accessed via a black wooden ladder) As normal they were on time (I have a bee in my bonet at the moment regarding SOME English workers and unkept promises) and as expected they did a fantastic job leaving the house as spotless as they found it!!

The bed deck is constructed out of timber and will easily take a king size mattress. Like the house itself it is finished in black, white and chrome. We opted for one of these for a couple of reasons....1. I'm often described as an overgrown child (and as a kid I wanted a cabin bed!) and 2. It means that I can use this room as a gym/wii fit room but still have a spare bed for guests as the floor space is left entirely free! Clever or what!! Well, I thought so.....anyway!!!

I love my beddeck and I plan to spend quite a bit of time hiding away here. From here I can nosey down the driveway....look out to the rear fields and watch the wildlife and nosey onto our landing area and casual seating area! It's a perfect viewing spot! I love it!!!

COUNTDOWN TO MOVING IN....

In 1 week and 1 day we officially move in and I really can't wait!!

As I write our kitchen is being fitted (and it looks really good, even if I say so myself!!) We have opted for a modern hi-gloss kitchen from the siematic SL range (this basically means it got no handles!) It's finished in Vanilla cream and Latte with a zodiac worksurface. The centre piece is a fab island unit which has the hob and steamer set into it. What I like most though are the colour changing lights set behind the frosted glass doors...there are the best! Even the tap (which has not arrived yet) changes colour!!

The woodburning stove arrived last week. It's from Huf, although officially it comes from Holland. I really like the stainless finish....it complements the bolts on the house very well. One thing that suprised me though was the size of it. It's huge....as in taller than me!!! I don't think I'll be going cold!

Our landscapers are also doing a great job....the site has now all been levelled and is ready for turfing. We are having a granite patio laid to the rear, this will match the pathway around the house. The carport has all been blockpaved and shortly the driveway will be finished. Fingers crossed it will be all done for moving day!!
