Plaster & tiles

There has been lots of progress over the last week. I'm starting to count down until we're back in the house (2 months!)

Tiling in the bathroom. The vanity is from when we did the bathroom in 2003(?) - I still love it. 

Shower. We changed the colours from burgundy/white to black/white as it was impossible to source the right colour burgundy (it seems you can only get a really pinky burgundy now, not the rich, dark burgundy we had before.) But I'm really liking the black/white. 

New cornice in the 'green' room. The hole in the ceiling is where the attic access goes. 

And another hole next to it for the evaporative cooling vents. Unfortunately it's not pretty, but worth it, I think. 
 
Cornice in the hallway.

And looking towards the front door. 

We received our delivery of fireplaces yesterday. Three new ones to put in (two decorative, one with gas fire insert).
