New bed
After sleepless nights from the squeaky bed, we had no choice but to get a new one sooner than planned:

Architrave, flowers and bunnies
Here's more of my DIY skills :) Architrave that I cut myself. Woo. It's not finished yet before you comment that it doesn't look perfect. :)
My hanging basket :)
And here's the bunnies again:

Bathroom ceiling
Before and after of bathroom ceiling. I used artex and some carrier bags for a DIY tidy up.

Virtually finished the bedrooms...
Bedroom 1
Before and after. This room was probably one of the best rooms in terms of decor when we moved in. But we stripped it right back and started over. Painted in calico on the walls and painted the cupboards.
Bedroom 3 (smallest room)
and the same room from standing in the doorway.
And the cupboard that's in this small bedroom. We made some shelves, out of spare plywood and I painted them. Lots of room for our junk.
And finally (no before piccy) bedroom 2 which will be our hobby/guest room. We plan on putting a sofa bed in there when we have the money. But for now here's a picture of my crafting corner :) I got the furniture from Ikea for my birthday. Ignore the binliner...its full of Eeyores which will be housed on the sofa bed when we get one!

Bunnies in the snow
Another update on bedroom 1: skirting boards stuck on, door handles on the cupboards. Another coat on the radiator.
Gizmo did not like the snow at all :)

Nearly there with bedroom 1
This weekend has been spent painting, painting and more painting, and a tiny bit of wallpapering.
Our bit of wallpapering :) It was horrible doing it. I'm never ever wallpapering ever again. We've painted all the cupboard doors (they are built in wardrobes out of MDF by the previous owners). Looking pretty good I think. Can't wait to move back in there.
It's snowing!

...more stripping, more painting...
Ooops it's been a while since I've updated this. Sadly it does mean that we haven't made much progress in the past month. But we started again this week, so hopefully we'll be back on a roll...
So piccies:
Firstly here is our landing which my dad wallpapered. It's the wall we built for the bathroom.
This week we've been prepping Bedroom 1 for painting (before and after 2 coats of white):
