starting on the old beacon...:( i dont like seeing it all wrecked :P

i'm starting to renervate the inside of my 1st Beacon Hill....its quite distressing actually.... my beautiful Beacon all trashed :(
I'm sure i will like it better once its done.... gawd i hope i do!!!!
Heres the top floor ladies reading/quiet room and the start of the hallway...this may become her writing room...no idea yet so many rooms!!!! lol

03 October 2009

moving along...another room done and demolition started on the old beacon :O

finished the childrens school/play room....(wallpaper templates to be glued in when all rooms are done ) added a false hall at the back of the room





and today i started the demolition....renervation....of the old beacon hill.... my beautiful beacon is in dissarray :( ....however she will look fabulous once she's done!!!!
let me say....those stairs are a tad tricky to paint when they are already installed....i feel like a contortionist lol

My first visitor ....my crafting helper Sophie :)
ooooooooo and i also moved both beacons into my tiny craftroom...phew its quite a squash but its easier to work on them :)
