All painted We reckon you won't want to see the video of the paint drying so we'll save you that experience so here is are few photo's of the finished work.

This is the 2nd Bedroom. We finally found a set of bunk beds that fit the room on the end wall. That, together with "Parliament" hinges fitted to the door enabling it to swing back onto the wall, there's now much more room in this bedroom as well.  

2nd bedroom. Now with no bed in front of the window blocking the view and now the new work on the window really shows off.

3rd bedroom treatment. For those who have stayed here before you can plainly see the extra room you have for your next visit. 

3rd bedroom from the other end. It is so good to have finally got this work done. Seeing the last of that peeling  paint is such a great feeling. 

  We're going to take you back to the renovations again In Nanna's Rose Cottage. The job just kept on going. With the Covid thing stretching further than anyone expected, it was decided to go further.
  We had some axminster carpet that we discovered in an antique shop some years ago which was in amazing condition. It's like new. There's almost no wear on it. Although we would've preferred a bit more colour in it we couldn't leave it behind. Anyway, we decided since the cottage is in such a mess while the renovation work was being done then we should take the opportunity and have the carpet laid and give the cottage a great new look.
  We just happen to know a fellow that lays carpet and polishes timber floors so a quick call and it was on.  It took Peter 4 and a half days! We've got to say he was very pleased to see the back of the job but also felt a great sense of satisfaction with the finished product. There was a lot of head scratching and joining ​that had to be done. We were amazed at the finish and pattern matching he achieved. Thanks to you Peter Taylor.
  The carpet feels so great under your feet. Perhaps you really should come for a visit. Tim and Pam would love to meet you all..

Tim's always happy when there's wood to be showcased. Starting with Australian Oak colonial style skirting and architrave's. Then we had to get a few Blackwood boards out of some logs so sadly (haha) it was onto the Lucas Mill. What a fabulous Australian made machine. It's so versatile and easy to use. It was tricky work to sort out the best way to cut so we had butterfly matched pieces and to rebate the underside of each one to fit snugly over the window frame (see the second pic). The face of the ledges couldn't be any more than 5 mm thick so the window winder could still function properly. That done it's onto preparing the ledges and a lot of tinkering to get a nice fit. We love this look, with the natural edge disappearing into the wall and the top ledge to match.

Australian Oak Skirts and arch's had to be prep'd and then stained and varnished.

Then it was on to the saw mill and rebate the back of some blackwood boards. ready to turn into window ledges. We needed 3 sets.
​Pssst. Check out the view.

 2 sets of Blackwood ledges for the 3rd bedroom ready to fit.

The other 3rd bedroom window treatment. 

Just incase you're wondering why we bent one of the ledges you can see here that the bunk bed had to fit. Another quirky feature from Tim.
