This is the lounge on the day I moved in, items left were a pair of manky curtains, a pine shelf, two ceiling fittings and a broken dog flap.
I had the radiator removed as this was the wall where I wanted to put my dresser base. Time will tell if the plumber was right - he said I'd be cold!
Revamped fireplace and nest of tables and the famous serviette decoupaged HOME!
Revamped china cabinet, recovered chair with my crochet cushion and Pips wall hanging which I loved so much I made into another cushion.
I used Dulux soft apple on one wall and I have enough left over for part of the hallway.
Another little makeover, a £3 table from the boot sale which I gave the Laura Ashley paint and Cath Kidston paper treatment.
I nearly took this shelf down, then changed my mind.
A couple of coats of the soft apple and bob's yer uncle.
These were the light fittings left behind.
I'm not sure whether I should have painted light fittings, but I did and I'm pretty pleased with the result.

( How did you fix the letters to the wall, with hooks?)
It looks absolutely lovely so calm and restful looking.
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon, I used a mix of double sided sticky pads and Blue Tack but I'd recommend Blue Tack as it's easier to re-site (speaks from experience despite pencil and spirit level !!).
ReplyDeleteDimi - what a fantastic makeover - you have completely transformed the room in such a short space of time - it is unrecognisable from the room you had when you moved in. You must feel chuffed to bits
