Gracie House: June 2011
http://graciehouse.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Updates on our first house. Exciting stuff! So we've finally got to a painting stage throughout most of the house. As we now have tenants for September, and they kindly offered to help paint, it's only fair that I let them choose the colours. I am incredibly happy though. They look great. The front bedroom is now 'dusted damson' which I had my reserves about, but is lovely on. The hallway has had its second coat of buttermilk ands looking lovely for it. I ache all over but it's totally worth it. This sou...

Gracie House: We won't be living here...
http://graciehouse.blogspot.com/2011/06/we-wont-be-living-here.html
Updates on our first house. Exciting stuff! We won't be living here. Well, it turns out we aren't going to be living in our first house. This sounds like it's really bad news, but honestly, it isn't! So now it's the final push to try and get the house finished before they have to move in September. Matt, whose idea it was to start this blog, hasn't really posted much, but he has done LOADS of work, so I'll get him to update as soon as it's summer and he has some free time. We wont be living here.

A Song For Saturday: March 2013
http://songforsaturday.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
A Song For Saturday. The soundtrack to my life. Pride of Mine - Freedom4Her. It's been a loooooooooonnnnnnnggggg time since I did one of these posts, and it's not even a Saturday(! But I really wanted to share this song/album with you! I met David Olinger. Years ago and fell in love with his song ' My Deliverer. Prize if you spot me and/or Will in the video! And his album 'Hope' is every bit as good as I'd hoped it would be. To help the fight to eliminate sex trafficking and save lives. On my main blog.

A Song For Saturday: November 2011
http://songforsaturday.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
A Song For Saturday. The soundtrack to my life. This week it was thanksgiving and I couldn't resist some classic, old time, music from Johnny Cash. Johnny and June Carter-Cash are american music heroes, if you haven't seen '. You should rent it. Reese Witherspoon and Joaquin Phoenix make a beautiful, humblingly realistic, pair. So this week's song is John singing 'Thanksgiving Prayer' from an episode of Dr Quinn Medicine Woman. The first song I want to share with you is by Andy Squyres.

A Song For Saturday: July 2013
http://songforsaturday.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
A Song For Saturday. The soundtrack to my life. This is my anthem for the summer. I flipping love Daniel Bashta. And his sister Harvest Parker. They are the creative genius behind amazing songs such as ' Like A Lion. And ' The Song of the Lamb. And have been covered by everyone from Newsboys and the David Crowder band to Kim Walker-Smith. Undone is Daniel's latest single and it's been pretty much on repeat in my house for over a week now. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Flight of the Conchords.

A Song For Saturday: January 2012
http://songforsaturday.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
A Song For Saturday. The soundtrack to my life. This is one of my favourite songs from a conference I went to in 2007. It's available on iTunes on the album 'Worship and Warfare III'. I don't know much about David Olinger, but I love this song. Here are some of my favourite lyrics:. I’m not so sure about this journey. It’s an awfully long way. I’ve got a cloud by day and a fire by night. But I still feel so afraid. I’m learning to believe in the promise of Your Word. And I’m walking out of Egypt. Homesch...

Gracie House: New taps
http://graciehouse.blogspot.com/2012/03/new-taps.html
Updates on our first house. Exciting stuff! So the kitchen sink decided to stop producing hot water, and the lovely man from NPower said it had something to do with the taps. So we bought some fancy new ones. Kind of space age, and I wasn't sure if I liked them at first, but their growing on me (as much as a tap can after you've seen a £450 brushed chrome tap with a Brita water filter built in). 22 October 2013 at 07:26. Im Heather and I was hoping you would be able to answer a question about your blog!

Gracie House: May 2011
http://graciehouse.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Updates on our first house. Exciting stuff! The plan had been to lay parquet floor upstairs too, as we had loads of it, but unfortunately it wasn't quite right. For a start it cost us a lot more (money and time) to adhere, sand and varnish the downstairs floors than we had projected. Secondly it would be an absolute pain to take up again should anything need rewiring/replumbing. So we decided to go with laminate. Well actually we were donated some laminate. Which is a really nasty thorny tree. There's so...

Updates on our first house. Exciting stuff! I know this isn't technically about our house (the one that we own), but about the school's house (the one that we live in), but as its DIY related I'm going to post it anyway, just because it fits. I've been wanting a chandelier for the bedroom for the longest time (basically since the day we moved in). Actually I want one for the dining room too, but one step at a time. Anyhow, I found the perfect one - and it was cheap! Anyway, I found this beauty in IKEA.
