Bedroom

We have a storage problem in the bedroom and the layout is a little awkward for a double bed as the ceiling is quite low, but we are working on solving that problem by building fitted cupboards. In the meantime here are some pictures of our progress. Our main problem is the leaking chimney stack which resulted in the paper on one wall coming off. It was lined with polystyrene so all of it was stripped and we are now letting the wall dry out. This hasn't stopped us from painting the rest of the bedroom though to freshen and clean it up. Gone is the Blue and Yellow colour scheme and welcome to Damson.

I desperately needed a wardrobe so went to a junk shop and bought this wreck. Some of it was completely rotten and Lee treated the rest with woodworm treatment before I got started on it.

Bottom of Wardrobe

Rubbed it down and painted it up. Lee fixed the wonky door and drawer and sawed off part of the legs so that it fitted in our tight space. Just about got it up the stairs.

Our Bed is Too Big

Because most of our house stuff is in storage we were sleeping on the mattress on the floor. This was fine but when we went and got our bed, this was the result.

Bed Almost Touches Ceiling

Luna helping as usual

Okay, so we are now waiting for a lower bed.

These doors are just bugging me for some reason - I just don't like them. So ... I ordered some very different wallpaper and decided to make a feature wall out of it. I'm just waiting for Lee to do his wardrobe at the end and hopefully I can make a good job of putting it up. Slightly worried as there is a little packet of glue with the wallpaper?

Love this wallpaper

Painted the rest of the bedroom, sorry not colour co-ordinated at the moment.

Boiler Broke

Our first major disaster. Well second really, as we already had the boiler men around to sort out the electrics on the boiler so that the timer worked, and also remove some radiator pipes that were just sticking out of the floor in the hallway. Anyway the floor flooded and we had to replace the boiler. This led to us having to put new panels up in the conservatory to cover the new pipes and filter. An excellent opportunity to strip and repaint the wall as some of the wallpaper was peeling away anyway. This is what it looked like before.
