August 2010 ... update


The entrance of house with our new sage/olive green door

The newly rendered front well area and both sage/olive green doors.

The entrance door to our lower ground level apartment/flat.

The newly rendered well area in front of the flat and the newly painted front door!

INTERNAL PICS (of flat):

We spent many days, even weeks, sanding, filling, sanding again, prepping and painting a small portion of our rooms in the house, roughly 200 sq m/2000 sq ft wall space, ourselves. I have a whole new respect for our painters who painted the majority of our house - what a laborious profession!

Antonio and Luas diligently painting the flat before our renter moved in.

High on fumes...
The painters hard at work - we've got a deadline Boys!

PAINTING & DECORATING COMPLETED:

It's a sweet space and turning it into a flat made sense b/c we wouldn't know how to use it otherwise. There is such a thing as too much space, contrary to some beliefs out there. It's also a good investment to have here in London where there is a shortage of housing everywhere in the city.
