Dave the Builder, Vic the Decorator: Can they fix it? Yes they can!

We didn't get Sunday lunch until 9:00 pm the night before the carpet fitters arrived but we were ready.

 Three years ago we changed the interior plans very slightly to accommodate the Tapley furniture we have had since 1994 and is very much part of our home.  

Will it all fit in?

And here's the answer!

The walls are painted 3 shades (not 50) of grey and on the floor is a Sutherland Tartan carpet.  We were struggling to find the carpet and so contacted Andrew & Sarah MacNeil (a Peterhouse friend) who have lived in Edinburgh for many years - they put us in touch with Tom Forsyth at TartanCarpets.com - we have thoroughly enjoyed some very jolly conversations and e mails with Tom, who has quite a sense of humour!

 And here is the flooring in the kitchen - Amtico - shamelessly copied from the Deans who have had some in their entrance hall for about 10 years now and it still looks terrific.  There was a big debate about which way to lay the planks but in the end Vicki bowed to the opinion of David, Martin and Brad (the carpet fitters).
