I have some bad news : my camera is damaged by the thieves who have visited our house a few weeks ago. Thanks to the advice of some friends I could recuperate some of the pic's I had already on the camera.

But now you are missing the HUGE work of placing the enormous bleu tiles in our "walk-in-shower". Eddy has done this work with the help of a friend. The stones were so heavy, it wasn't possible to do this alone.

As you can see on the pic's I polished the floor tiles, so they were darker bleu than in the beginning.

The kitchen furniture (designed by myself !) is finished and awaiting to be placed. Eddy made it in oak, I asked in pine-wood because I wanted to paint it in old French bleu or green, but now I am going to oil it.

The terrace floor is finished by the contractor, we were waiting for the smith to place the partition, balustrade and out-door stairs.

In the bathroom, Eddy has started yesterday to place the wooden wainscot. After that, the plumber can installate the antique radiators and the bath.

Also yesterday I've bought with Jarno the paint for his room : warm red and grey. We have found in Oxford, England the black curtains he wanted. They were inexpensive there.

For our room I have painted wednesday, our antique Louis XV wardrobe in light-beige. It took a whole day... Three coatings and than I sandpapered the sculptures. So it looks as old as it is now.

As soon as the camera is repared, I will place the photo's. And I keep you guys informed !!!
