Coronavirus Projects - Mum's bedroom

Keeping busy during the Coronavirus pandemic. I've been on a decorating spree, sorting out cupboards and bagging things up for recycling, charity and selling etc plus, painting old furniture.

My mum also has a multi-purpose bedroom as we all down-sized to move to Wales. She had 3 wardrobes in her bedroom plus her sewing table, dressing table, bed and bedside tables. It's a lovely large room but was looking a bit cramped. She wanted to keep her bedroom furniture, but was happy to let 2 of the wardrobes go as I was replacing them with a much bigger wardrobe that would fit everything in. No more things under the bed or at the sides and on top of wardrobes.

All her lovely things organised a little better

I found the perfect wardrobe that is nice and deep and that would fit into the alcove almost perfectly. It sticks out a little but it will never be coming out again that's for sure! Good job I painted behind it. This was a flat pack so Lee and myself spent an afternoon putting it all together.

After filling in cracks etc I decided to paint the walls white and one wall a duck egg blue. She loves it and says it feels so much bigger. It really does but also still has all her little personal things in. The big wardrobe has loads more space inside and is so much more organised. I also bought her a small white filing cabinet for all her paperwork.

It's lovely, clean and fresh now and has plenty of space to move around. We always have blankets on the bed as Hooch our dog loves to jump on the beds.

I forgot to take a before picture, you will just have to trust that this is an improvement.
