I know you're bored stiff with my wretched 'tower', but I'm ignoring your pleas and I'm going to show you even more, regardless! Now that I've finished the plastering (hooray), we can begin to see it all come together. I still have the floor tiles to lay, and the ceiling to paint, but otherwise it's done.
Both the window and the 'arrow slit' give onto the terrace in front of the cottage; within easy shouting distance of 'more Pimms please'.
And this is the view to which any occupants will wake. I'm a country boy at heart, so, for me, nothing could be more perfect. This is also the sliding door that caused the demise of our Cuckoo recently!
Almost time to start ordering the furniture. We're going for classic rustic French, in classic rustic 'taupe'; plus, of course, plenty of antiques.
Hello:
ReplyDeleteFar from being bored with this, we are absolutely fascinated. From the pictures it looks magnificent and the roof is beautiflly done.
'Taupe', 'straw', 'mouse's back', even 'dead rat', these are most certainly the colours of today or those which, to use modern parlance, are 'on trend'.
Looks a great place for some respite. You have done a wonderful job.
ReplyDeleteso much bigger than I thought inside...can't wait to see it furnished...we will want pictures!
ReplyDeleteHello Cro,
ReplyDeleteAs you showed a wee bit of interest in my 'affair' with a Morgan, can I mention that I did a bit all about my early motoring days here:-

It was sad but as an OAP I need comfort rather than exhilaration!
Cheers.......Bernard
No, not bored Cro, but still envious.
ReplyDeleteYou Are Going A Great Job !
ReplyDeleteA guest room? Or a study for Cro?
ReplyDeleteA junk room for Lady M, I expect!
ReplyDeleteA junk room? Oh no, no, no! It looks the idyllic writer's or artist's retreat. You could rent it out and use the money to buy a million more tomato plants. (just kidding!)
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing. And what a view—I'm totally jealous. But you two worked very hard, so I can't be jealous. One question: are you going to pipe air conditioning in there, or is that not needed?
ReplyDeleteAmy, The whole thing is going to be 'eco'. No electricity; just candles. No air-con; just open windows. No mod-cons; just pure luxury and comfort.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful room, and the view out the window is breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteHey, there, Cro Magnon man, what a delightful looking tower! You may be my only reader in France, I don't know, but you write a delightful post! Thank you for the visit to my blog, and the sweet compliment! Best regards to you and I hope you will come back. Your grandchild is adorable. Bye for now, Ruby
ReplyDeleteOh goodness - I NEED a tower in my garden. It looks blissful!
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful,Cro!
ReplyDeleteWhen's the Tower-Warming party?!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful. I worried for a moment about the wooden ceiling, but then spotted the glad mention of paint.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful space and you've done a great job! And I love that view! Cheers, Cro!
