Public sale on internet....

After the experience , gained while buying the kitchen for the ground floor appartement, I tried a second time to buy something on an internet auction.

With succes ! I bought a double bed, two pairs of sheets, plaids, cussions and two footstools for Tabitha's room. (After sending her the pictures and informing if she liked this bedroom)

It was very exciting. That day, it was rather calm in our shop, no visitors at all.... untill the auction was online, I had placed my offer, and I was waiting the two last minutes before assignment... HELP !!! Luckely Eddy just entered the shop and he could help the customers.

After tomorrow, thursday, we have to collect the items I bought. I have bought also some extra cussions and sheets.

Tabitha and Jarno have had only a one-person bed untill this. Their first beds after the babybed. But they are grown up now and Jarno is soooo tall, he needed a larger bed. That means I need other sheets... that's why I bought them on the same auction.

I think I am going to order a box spring for him by one of our wholesale dealers. He wanted one in black...

This moment, Eddy has hired an elevator to move the kitchen-cupboards to the first floor. And his iron bath on legs.

I think more news and pictures about that tomorrow !

Flooring the hall

The hall is finished with the same tiles as in our bathroom. Old looking bleu and sandstone.

Like in a real old/antique Belgian mansion. I love it !

After this we have to move to the first floor, than Dimitri and Eddy can finish the groundfloor.

Exciting !!!

Going like a train !

It is going like a train now !!!

This is how we are camping in our house... a real adventure. Still no kitchen, so it needs some inspiration to make fresh food without a cooking-rage and an oven, but it works. But we have more time now to prepare the works for the day after.

I am working in the garden at evening, the weather is good. But there in no-one to take pictures ! Grmbl...

This week, Dimitri, the flooring contractor, began into our living room. With a (little ?) helping hand from Eddy. No, not a "little" helping hand .... it takes a lot of time to prepare everything, and Eddy can spare a lot of time for Dimitri.

Finding this young man, is like finding a "treasure". His price is good and he works from 7 in the morning untill 7 in the evening ! And his work is really excellent !!! He is working so hard with a super result, we are really super-satisfied...

After Dimitri and Eddy have layd the pattern to see if everything fits, they began to lay the tiles.
There was a lot of work to grind the floortiles, but this was the result after a day of hard work for both...

The next day Dimitri has finished the whole floor from the living room and the hall on our storey. Beautiful result isn't it ? I feel so satisfied.

The third day Dimitri and Eddy began into the bathroom. I have choosen a pattern in bleu and beige for this room. Like in the old European 19th century mansions.

During those few day, they learned to work together and the work was running like a train !!!

But credit where credit is due : the greatest "artist" for this work is Dimitri. Anyone interested ? His firm is " 't Klinkerke" from Melsele. He is worthy to be recommended. See also his website.

This is the result from this afternoon, in the meantime the bathroom is finished as well as the
toilet. Tomorrow they are going to begin on the groundfloor in the hall. Curious ??? Take a look tomorrow on this blog !

And Eddy is working for my kitchen furniture too. But that take some time, because he has only half an hour here and half an hour there to spend. But no worry, it's gonna be beautiful !

I am going to sleep well !
