The house looks almost completely different now. Changing the manky, crumbling, patchy, dark green stuff for some bright, cream, soft, new carpet has made a world of difference. The hall is much much brighter and the lounge looks bigger. By an accident of packing, I even got brass bars which look a lot better than the aluminium ones I was supposed to get, so that's extra niceness. The down side is that there are three doors which need cutting a bit so as they will close, but that's pretty trivial and will be fixed tomorrow.
Photos may follow in time, but certainly not right now.
