For over 18 months we have had no carpet on the landing or stairs. There have been gripper rods hiding in corners just waiting to catch an unsuspecting toe, and the bare boards made it feel like we were squatting.
The second floor was cut off from the first by a glass partition, and the bannisters had seen better days.
But with a little bit of attention, a lot of elbow grease and a fair bit of carpet later, it is like a different place.
I have a serious Pinterest obsession, and I love trawling the site for home, fashion, recipe and travel inspiration.
During my pinning, I have spotted a striking print come up time and time again in great interior shots. It’s simplicity really caught my eye, and I realised I had pinned it on my ‘interior ideas I love’ board quite a few times, in its different incarnations.
We’ve finally started on the hallway, and tackled one of the things I have been most excited about since I moved in to the house - the floor!
