One Week To Go!!

The big day is drawing nearer. My house looks like a warehouse at the moment, boxes of sample books and fabrics and wallpaper and flooring all over the place, ready to go up to the new showroom.

The painter and electrician have nearly finished, and everything is beginning to take shape. The sofa arrives tomorrow morning, which I can't wait to see.

We have lots of people volunteering next week to help get everything ready for Wednesday - so really looking forward to it.

Two Kids, One Puppy, One Husband and a Flat out Mum

Running your own business is anything but easy, so why did I go and make life even more difficult by agreeing to hubyy and kids request for a puppy????

Barney the Goldren Retriever arrived three weeks ago, aged just 8 weeks old, looking very cute and cuddly. However it is like having another baby - without the pain!! He loves the delivery men, when they come delivering all the lovely new items for the Showroom, and they seem to like him, until he nips their ankles that is.

The kids fight over who will take him out and even about who will feed him, but at least it ensures they get up early to be the first one downstairs to say hello to Barney. Hubby now gets up at 6am and I get a cup of tea in bed - can't be bad.

I am hopeful that once trained (how long can it take?) Barney can come to the Showroom with me, and enjoy interior design as much as me!

NEW SHOWROOM OPENING SOON

I am so excited, over the past few weeks I have been unable to write anything on my blog as I have been hard at work organising the opening of my first ever Showroom!

The Showroom will be based at Church Lane Estate, Mannings Heath, and is as I type undergoing the necessary transformation to turn it into a beautiful looking Showroom, in which I can show off fabrics, wallpapers, floorings, furniture etc etc.

The plastering is taking place at the moment to give me nice smooth walls on which to display beautiful poles and fabrics. The decorating should take place next week, and then the flooring goes down on Monday 22nd September.

Opening date is due to be 1st October - watch this space.
