Welcome to my blog

We moved to Ireland with the notion of building our "dream" home in May 2007 after purchasing the site earlier on that year. Mr C is Irish and originally from Limerick but he remains in the UK during the week, his job is running www.cruise.co.uk and earning the bucks that will hopefully allow us to "live the dream."

It's taken us almost two years but ground will be broken on the site by the end of May 09!! A lot of blood, sweat & loads of tears (all mine!) have gone into this project already, we left a fabulous house behind in Newcastle...and now for my Kevin McLeod bit, "can the new build can live up to my expectations and the old house we left behind"? I'm not sure...keep watching my blog and you'll find out!!

Not sure about the curves....?

Hadn't given the ceiling finish to the upstairs "vaulted" rooms too much thought until yesterday.  Was slightly taken aback by the curved finish to the high ceilings......mmmm not sure....what do you think???


Ollie ...our plasterer....hard at work yesterday in sub zero temperatures.
We are so pleased with his work!


Just not sure about that curved finish to the ceiling though.....
Mr C quite likes it....makes this room have a bit of a Moroccan vibe he thinks!


just looked back over this post....maybe it is growing on me!

    I have to agree with Mr. C. I think it looks great and definitely Moroccan-ish. And I love Moroccan-ish.

    Moroccan or maybe even a little art deco! Whatever - just so long as you don't have to decorate it yourself :-) mam x

    I like the curves they are different and take more skill than the straight edges. The weather is so cold today I hope you have lots of heat as it takes the plastering ages to dry out with this cold weather. Your house is really coming today now :)

    All things nice...

    "Moroccan" was exactly the word that popped into my mind when I saw it. I think juneb is right that it could go kind of art deco, too. I think it's fun--different!

    Really like the rounded corners and it's quite traditional for a lot of country houses. Think it looks friendlier and is different to the norm and something that people really notice! Well done on progress by the way :-)
