During the Christmas
break we started the renovation of the reception area. This
involved knocking down two walls and putting up metal girders to
support their weight. Everything was then plastered ready for the
wallpaper.
Meanwhile a craftsman
was making the reception desk in beech wood. After the
carpet was fitted, he and his team came along to install it. As
part of the overall design we have used vertical radiators which
save a lot of space and are an elegant feature in their own right.
It has taken us all
about 3-4 weeks to get used to the fact that we do not need to go
from No 33 into the garden and back again to get to No 32. We
simply cross the room!
We are delighted with
the results. It gives everything a more professional and upmarket
feel.
Here are a few photos
of how the work progressed.
