<\/a><\/p>\nThe smaller, new, en-suite bathroom also feels generous for a shower room and although, not unlike many en-suite bathrooms, it doesn\u2019t have natural light, when that is tiled we think it will also brighten the space.\u00a0 When building the new walls for the en-suite we have decided to retain some of the original slate, previously hidden behind the old lambris walls, as a feature to highlight the age and construction of the building.<\/p>\n We hope, just one more week and the bathrooms will be in a state completed all bar the decorating.<\/p>\n Where we have exposed slate in the bathroom, we have completed the panelling in the living area to hide an entire wall of it.\u00a0 When I posted these pictures on our Facebook page last week they caused some discussion as to where they were.\u00a0 For those who know Priory, the 2 walls we have clad are the back walls in the living space which were previously hidden behind large wooden, Breton, cabinets.\u00a0 One wall had previously been painted white, the other was slate.\u00a0 When complete, the previous slate wall will have a smaller table in front so you can see the panels but we will retain the older cabinet.\u00a0 Both walls however will have new lights incorporated making the space much brighter.<\/p>\n The later pictures show the panelling added with filler applied to the screws and any small gaps.\u00a0 Again, it now shouldn\u2019t take too much to sand, re-fill, sand again and finally paint.\u00a0 The picture also shows some of the work our electrician, Pascal, has done, installing the new radiators which are fed off a new air source heat pump we will have installed outside.\u00a0 Perhaps not the most attractive item but no less so then the, now removed, old, ineffective wall-mounted hot-water radiators and far more efficient.<\/p>\n Pascal has worked hard since we started this project as he is re-wiring the entire house and with most walls made of solid slate, we have had to find alternative methods of running cable that doesn\u2019t require huge channels dug out of the walls.\u00a0 I will show you some of those as we near completion, but one of the larger tasks will happen early next week.\u00a0 Previously, we had a hall lantern suspended above the main space.\u00a0 It was one we bought in London when we were planning to refurbish our hall there but never got round to it!\u00a0 So as not to waste it, it became some of the lighting in Priory.\u00a0 We have now bought another, larger, suspended light that we will use in the main space, so Pascal has moved our \u2018London light\u2019 to the mezzanine dressing area where we think it looks great.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n
