HOUSE RENOVATION PROJECT – PART 4, SITTING ROOM.

Downstairs in what was the original house we have tried to keep things with minimal changes, apart from knocking down a couple of walls and changing some windows in to doors to make the most of the beautiful views, and allowing better access in and around the building.

In what will become the sitting room we have knocked two of the windows into doors to allow us to see the stunning view across the valley and the mountains. If we had kept them as windows the view could never be seen if you were sitting on the sofa, as the windows were quite high.

Outside the doors we are having glass Juliette balconies, this is for safety and the glass will help to keep the view interrupted.

We will be putting a wood burning fireplace along one wall and covering the chimney breast with these natural Quartzite stones tiles.

This room will be for relaxing, reading and watching tv, a grown up sitting room.

The boys are having their own room, where they will have all the boys stuff, snooker table, x-box, wii etc,.

The next thing is to knock down some walls to make the boys room! That’s the next job.
