Major rumblings have been underway in the first few months of 2016 in the Rooke household. As you'll have heard in recent posts we've been very busy (and a little frazzled) doing some quite big alterations in our lovely new home.
We're all but there now - just some final light shades and blinds to top it all off. But I hope you can see from the photos below it's a really great job and we are all completely delighted. We set out to bring light and usage to the side of the house that we weren't really using and we now just can't stop living in it. We all just tear around the place bathed in sunlight (yes, there is some on the West Coast) and now regularly enjoy evening meals at the far end looking onto the garden. A brilliant success and a tribute to all the craftsmen that were involved. Most importantly though a massive thank you to David Scott, our friend and architect supremo, who gave us the inspiration for it all :-)
So please visit soon...there's now loads more usable space for everyone to enjoy...and we love having visitors.

Old playroom to dining room
Old study to kitchen
Old bathroom to new bathroom
And old kitchen to new spare room
