the barn : before

wow that was a busy weekend!...and nothing is finished so the before and after photos I mentioned are all still the before photos...I may have some after photos when we've been to the Barn again next weekend!
so...come in...

 you can go straight ahead to the kitchen....it's skanky and will not look like this for much longer (there are two toilets on the left as you go through the front door, but I am sparing you the photos of those ... YUCK does not quite cover it!! but they are a lot cleaner now than they were on Saturday)...

or you can give the kitchen a miss and turn right into paper-and-string.....

 a ginormous space that's covered in dust and all rather tired looking - but look at the light pouring through the windows and imagine shelves full of felt and you will see what I can see in my imagination....

 we have a plan of action that's rather flexible at the moment...next weekend we'll finish painting the walls and paint the floor of the BIG room, the weekend after that we'll be packing and we think *moving day* will be 4th March....so I reckon we'll be closed for about 10 days from Thursday 27th Feb until Sunday 9th March....there's a lot of planning and sorting to do between now and then but for the moment we're open as usual and I'll give you tonnes of notice about when we'll be closed for the move!
