upstairs internal doors- we should have kept to the original paint choice and we should have taken the risk and had the mid rail lower- bit disappointed- they look a bit normal

a little help- jude is a good little helper

wibble wobble = the snug is looking good

height of floor raised in the snug- I love it!
