Curtains and carpet

Carpet

Lovely long curtains

Carpet is installed, curtains put up and bed re-made.  All I need to do now is wait for my side table and make my cushion covers. Eventually I would like to have my lovely vintage dressing table back in it's place and my Absinthe poster framed and on the wall but until that time comes, I am very, very pleased with the room and ever so happy to have finished the hard graft.

Painting day 8 and 9

So, painting day 8 was the wood paint, I did most of the room and the doors, I have just one small section of the floor left and it is pretty much done, I took yesterday off but continued today and have now FINISHED!!!!!!

Hopefully by early next week my floors will be covered with a nice soft carpet  and the room will be ready for soft furnishings!! :)

Next set of pictures will be before carpet and after carpet.

Painting day 7

Feature wall colour has arrived (along with matching curtains) I did two coats today and it looks perfect, I am exhausted though.....
*whew*

Again, sorry about the light

Curtains were unexpectedly patterned, in raised (think embossed) sort of thing. It is perfectly fine though, I like them and they are the most lovely shade of aubergine.

Next stop, touch ups and washing the skirting.  Talked to bff and she is bringing the wood paint on Tuesday!!!  Huzzah...almost done.

More decorating, 3-6th day

Edged feature wall colour with tester pot

Still awaiting feature wall colour full sized pot.

Paint arrived........

Not much to say really but after a week of waiting the paint has arrived, I am so excited to get restarted.

Bedroom update

Second day of painting means that all the walls have their undercoat now, I ordered my paint online, I hope it will arrive tomorrow so I can paint my ceilings and start on the colour for the walls.

It is hard, hard work but I am SO glad to get started.

Sleeping in the front room as I have had to move the bed but luckily I have a comfy sofa :)

Bedroom renovation

I have been encouraged by a friend to take pictures, bit embarrassing when I see exactly how bad the room is that I sleep in documented for posterity but hey-ho, it is all change now.....

Right hand wall

Firstly, this room has never been done, the right hand wall was some beige colour as is the gloss on the woodwork, the left hand wall covered some bad paintwork with an ugly wallpaper with a duck motif (words fail me) I stripped off the wall paper last year and so, those damaged walls were the first I painted with my undercoat.  Please excuse the darkness of the photos, the room is not very well lit.
