My home renovation - August progress

The facade and side walls have been 

plastered and painted. My neighbours 

downstairs like the pebble-white colour 

so we'll carry on down the facade to

give the building uniformity.

When we pulled the old plaster from a wall in the

living room, we discovered this beautiful old

Leccese stone window frame that probably goes

below floor level to the neighbour's apartment

below. This has now become an interesting 

feature of the room.

The kitchen has been plastered, which

makes the room look tall and airy. 

The lower bathroom has been totally

plastered ready for the pastellone

covering.

The upper bathroom has also been

plasterd

the boxy built-in shelves in the upper

bathroom and wardrobe look great.

The main bedroom has also received it's coat of

plaster.

The bed-loft still needs the flooring

the bed construction the window and 

the wardrobe fittings

One of the moorish peep-holes I had

made for the bed-loft

The sturdy support beam for the terrace pergola

has been inserted into the stair structure on one 

side and posed upon a pillar on the other.

These stairs lead to what has now 

become my aerie. I will make cushions

for the aerie so that I can sit up there

of an evening with a glass of wine

a book or my computer, and suvey

the surrounding townscape and

countryside.

The aerie!
