Hi all. I can hardly believe I am posting for the third time in one month!!!! Crazy!!
I have got a bit done on my renovation of the French house and getting close to being able to put the roof on and finish all the exterior. Soon anyway. I am still a little unsure about how I will finish the exterior but will work on that.
So top floor rooms. Firstly is the room the stairs open into. Lots to do here. It will be last to complete as I need to run wiring through it. A wall will be added on the left side of the room with a built in cupboard to store linens and stuff. And the sewing table will also go here.
Here is the ante chambre where the desk will sit. A curtain will cover the clunkiness of the end of the wall panelling where it meets the large door. And a wallpaper border will go on after the ceiling beams have been added.
So that is the reconfigured top floor of the French shop. Still lots of tidying up to do but making progress! I love this house, and I wanted to retain a lot of the details of the original structure. And reconfiguring the top floor gave me more space to make the bedrooms larger.
Hope you all have a great week ahead! XX
Looks great. I love that stone wall!

Thank you Pilar! I have seen many places in France with the stone exposed and thought it added an element of interest and authenticity. I like it too!
DeleteTres Chic Shannon.
ReplyDeleteI am drooling over the beds.
Thank you Carrie! Wouldn’t the beds be nice in real life? Especially if someone made them that neatly every day for us!
DeleteHi Shannon! Those bedrooms look wonderful! The stone wall is a great idea! I love the beds you have... so French... so perfect! I'm glad you are making good progress... that always feels so encouraging when a project is going well! Keep up the great work! And stay safe! :):)
ReplyDeleteHi Betsy. Thank you. I do miss the old version of this house but then again I really like the changes I made. And it makes more sense to me. Hope you are staying well too! X
DeleteI'm liking your plans for this and can't wait to see it all happen.
ReplyDeleteWow, I didn’t reply! Sorry Irene! Thank you! Work has slowed but I am keen to get this done.
DeleteHello Shannon. You are new voice on my blog. Glad you stopped by. No. I have not looked a the Chrysnbon but I will. Thank you for the suggestion. Your current project looks amazing and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou are a new voice on my blog. Welcome. Thank you for suggesting the Chrysnbon bathroom. I hadn't considered that. Your current project looks amazing and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ann! Sorry for the delay in responding to your comment. Thanks for your lovely comment and no worries about the Chrysnbon bathroom!
DeleteI love to see the progress and hear about the plans - they sound amazing! I love the stone walls! And so many posts? I love it when you're inspired and on a roll! Keep them coming!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jodi! I have a few things to blog but haven’t found the time. Keen to get moving on a few projects. It’s time for a refresh!
DeleteI have no idea how I missed this!? For some reason I don't get all post in my feed - so irritating!
ReplyDeleteThe bedrooms look just fabulous. What a great idea to add exposed stone feature walls. They are such a nice detail and contrast to the very pretty beds.

Hi Anna. Thank you! I am pretty happy with the walls, they add some character and interest and I love seeing them exposed in real life old buildings.
DeleteAnd Blogger is odd for me too with what posts it shows. It can sometimes take a few days to update with new posts. I am also sure it would just unfollow other blogs for me, but that was some time ago. It is frustrating!
