Last week we sat down and (in true Quentin fashion) made up a spreadsheet listing every single thing to be done and bought for every single room. The purpose was so we can get a good idea how much things are going to cost so we can budget for it. We drew up a plan of the bathroom to decide the best layout, and Q made me draw a 3D model of it. I didn't know how to use the software so it looks like crap, otherwise I would put it on here. But at least now we have a good idea what we're going to do with the room.
Today we went to the Home and Garden show. I'd heard it wasn't that great, and it wasn't as good as I'd hoped. I'd like to say we walked away with some great ideas and inspiration, but we didn't. We did, however, join the NZ Wine Society, and will be receiving a case of wine every three months.
Anyway, back to the renovations. This afternoon we started to properly strip some of the wallpaper off in the lounge. It was pretty successful, however it's a very messy business. We managed to get most of one wall done. In some parts the wallpaper was really easy to remove, and in others quite difficult. In some places we were a bit rough and scraped some plaster and some of the outer layer of gib off. But apart from that I think we did a pretty good job of it.
