My husband has been on holiday this month and, as is tradition . . . we didn’t go away but spent our time and money doing some redecorating. The kitchen and bathroom will both need work, but they will be jobs for the professionals and probably not before next year. However, there was one room crying out for a complete change . . . the spare bedroom.
When we moved in it looked like this
That was the room at its worst, in December of last year . . . now the same view
Gone the rather busy wallpaper, gone the rather grubby carpet ^^
This was the wall opposite
The beach scene has gone . . .
The old black units have been given a coat of paint as temporary furniture – we need to keep our eyes open for something a little better. And the other wall, before
and after
It’s a very satisfying feeling ^^ We’re now looking forward to having guests
You have been hard at work and it’s a lot more welcoming now!
yes it looks a lot more spacious now too, and I think the little bit of green brings the room to life
Wow!! What a wonderful and beautiful transformation!
didn’t we do well?
Such a splendid transformation, Claire!
thanks Kate ^^ the previous decoration was probably more than 40 years old, so it was about time that room got revamped
Wow. What a change! Lovely room now.
it was a bit stuck in the 1970s before ^^
Wow, you’d hardly believe it was the same room. It looks brilliant now. Love the window dressing!
I know, amazing what some paint and decent flooring can do ^^
Wonderful job, we are stripping some more wallpaper soon. Very rewarding makeover. Well done to you both
good luck on your stripping ^^
You have done a brilliant job. The room looks so spacious and welcoming.
