Good wood!

The oak wood floor in the bedroom has been stained a beautiful dark earthy brown. I think it is looking good!

It is looking so good that I think we should just move straight in.  And that is what we are going to do this weekend!!!!!


Woo hoo!  New home!

Lucellino by Ingo Maurer

We chose "Lucellino" lights for the bed sides in the guest bedroom.

Lucellino Angel Wings were designed by Ingo Maurer in 1992 and are on permanent display in the Moma.  Have a look here for more information.  I love that the name of the light is made up of the word "Luce" (light) and "Ucellino" (little bird)!

                                 How cute is the packaging!!

I think they will look really good when they are fitted in the guest bedroom!

               I think the box that the bulb comes in is adorable!

The lights were chosen months ago so it is great to see them going up on the walls now.  

Ciaran worked with Patrick Kerr of Shadowlight to make sure that the lights chosen were perfect for each room.

God is in the detail!

Strip light the length of the kitchen as well as strip lighting under the kitchen counters.

           Can you believe there is a hot tub under this deck?!

Paint party!

The walls are currently being painted a really subtle earthy colour.  

The feature wall in the back room is being painted a darker grey.

Step away from the fire!

I've no idea what's going on here.

Ciaran just sent me this photos on my phone - whatever is going on it looks like Ciaran needn't be involved.......he can't resist having a go at certain things.  When the build started first he had a great time  helping the builders knock down a few of the old walls.  

Whiteout!

Who's that cutie in the mirror?

We bought this antique mirror about 10 years ago in an antique shop in Ranelagh (of all places!!) long before we ever thought we would be living here!

                Everything is being painted in white undercoat.

Sorry....

Sorry for no updates folks....


I've been sick for the past few days and then my laptop decided to get sick in sympathy with me too.  For the past while my life has just been made up of visits to the doctor and also visits to the computer hospital.


If you have a computer that needs fixing up I highly recommend Duffy's TV & Computer repair shop in Blanchardstown.  They can be contacted by calling 01-8207374 and are on the Main St. near to TSB Bank, see here.


Anyway I'm all better now so I will see about getting some pics up here over the next day or two!
