New bedrooms taking shape

Linus- the plumber's apprentice!
 Keeping up with a growing family the size of ours takes some doing!
With so many new arrivals in the last three months, our existing bedrooms are bursting at the seams, so we are now busy transforming the upstairs rooms, previously used as classrooms, into bedrooms.
When completed the rooms with the a self-contained are for use by the older girls, complete with its own entrance.
This does require some modification and the installation of  showers and toilets, but once complete, it be a lovely homely space for the older girls, whilst the older boys will also have their own self-contained area.
Shower room takes shape
Lanson, our handyman, has been painting the rooms and  builders have been putting in cubicles ready for the plumbers to get to work.
Mama said her girls are really excited about the move and the rooms will have extra touches with locally made wicker laundry baskets and shelving units.

"There are eight rooms, so I am turning one into a shower and toilet room, with wash basins nice mirrors and pretty curtains. 
"The other seven will be bedrooms as they vary in size some will take six beds others eight."
