The hall saga continues

Husband was on holiday last week and roundabout the middle of the week he had a brilliant idea. Husband's brilliant ideas are nearly as good as mine.

He decided he would hire a sander and sand and varnish the hall floor. (Remember we started decorating February 2007?)

Every room in the house still has a thin film of dust.

But it was worth it. Here is the hall after 2 coats of coloured varnish and one of clear.

As you see, my holly is still there but the fairy lights have gone. I did think of painting over the holly with daffodils but I am now living in hope that the wallpaper may go up any day. After the paint has been ... um ... refreshed as it's got a bit scruffy over the last 12 months.
