Nearly there.


Living room.  Walls were stripped back to bare stone, one coat lime:sand harled on, 2 coats lime/hemp floated flat, 2 fine coats lime:sand skimmed on, 3 coats limewash, 2 coats clay paint coz limewash wasn't working.
Woodwork is chestnut cut from boards, hand planed and oiled, then sanded to get rid of mouldy bits and re-done.


Bedroom - 4 coats of eco-emulsion on walls, which were sanded, filled, sanded again, washed and rinsed then painted.  Radiators were sanded then primed and given two coats of linseed oil paint that took a week to dry between coats and got everywhere.  Lime/hemp wall on right.  Floorboards gone over by hand with a damp scrubbing brush, then polished with beeswax and orange oil by hand.

Kitchen also done but full of junk, bathroom is still work in progress!
