Instagram post 2189179910673490932_1720585837 Morning!! Building the shelving in the living room means that the Christmas tree is moving to the dining room.. out with the flowers and plants and in with the Christmas decks very shortly ... it’s 1st of December so it’s officially ok to talk about Christmas and decorate/play Christmas music 🎶 🎄 but first I have to paint the bathroom, mark the shelves, cut them .. need to plan the doors for the new bookshelves, cover the holes, sand and yes I still have the bathroom cabinet to prime and paint as well .. weekends are always busy for DIY in this house 😂 have you got your tree up !? .
