We are currently undergoing house renovations! Our dining room was by far one of the worst rooms in the house, with the lovely lime-based plaster on the walls, which is apparently original (c. 1930). The large white patch is where a window to the kitchen used to be, and to the right is a patio door to our garden.

The delightful ceiling is being re-plastered as well. On our second day in the house (2 years ago!!), we removed the atrocious foam tiles that were glued on. Our builder was quick to enlighten us of the serious danger those tiles would have projected, had there been a fire. The fumes they give off are deadly.

The patio door to the garden. We will eventually paint the wooden frames white.

Entrance to the dining room, with our beautiful warm radiator which was installed last October. We moved into the house with no central heating whatsoever. Last winter was thus our warmest!

The plasterboard there is covering up where our fireplace used to be. Looking back, I think we should have kept the fireplace as it was sort of a nice feature - navy blue decorated tiles, and an original part of the house. The whole above is where the previous owners left this 'exquisite' clock-picture thing which was revolting. And when we removed it, there was a giant hole! Both will be bricked (fiberglass) and plastered.
