The last week was busy, with guests in the house, family meals and partying, and then on Wednesday we took the dog and the boat down to Sivota for a couple of nights away for Regatta. Rob and Tanya moved into an apartment in Nidri for their second week - it's much more practical for them to be in town. So we have the house to ourselves again. As the music room is set up as a guest bedroom, it made sense to move in ourselves, and strip the bedroom bare so that work in there is made easier.

Most of the work to empty the bedroom done
... just a few cabinets and the mattress to relocate
The studio, once again, becomes a dumping ground!
Our bed made up in the music room. This room was originally planned to be the bedroom - next to the bathroom, east and west windows - so it is interesting to move in here for a while. Hopefully only 7 to 10 days, though, as everything is difficult when disarranged.
This photo and the one immediately below give some idea of the first job to do in the bedroom - scraping the wood clean. The bedroom was one of the first interior walls we completed, and we didn't know enough to clean up as we went in those days! Also, the plaster is about 2cm back from the front face of the wood frame, which creates a lot of little dust-collecting shelves. We intend to put a skim coat of plaster on the walls, so after cleaning, the wood will need masking for plaster and limewashing.
The same areas after scrubbing with a blunt chisel and damp cloth.
