Our newly decorated front room...

Thought I'd show you all the front room now that it's finished bar the carpets which should be here in another week or so.

We've had the tongue and groove below the dado rail all through the front room and up the stairs and landing. The builders did that for us but OH did the doors, paintwork above the rail and the new border. The last pic shows the front window which used to have a completely useless window seat in it. We had the builders take it out and have replaced it with the pine sideboard. We have chocolate brown carpets coming which will go throughout the house. I'm thrilled with it all. Think it looks really lovely clean and neutral. Hope you like it.

ya handy person you..... come do mine now will ya

A lot of hard work has gone into that - enjoy x

Wasn't my handy work mate. I was told to sit and do nothing. John's done the painting while I was back at work...bless him.

Thank you.

It looks good, you will have to show us again when you have the new carpets

Thanks Janet. I'll make sure to show you the new carpet. That's the bit I'm really lookikng forward to!

Jackie, it looks absolutely lovely - I love the flashes of blue and the lovely pine - it makes me think of a country cottage - smashing - well done to you and John xox

Thanks Vicki, we're really pleased with the results. I knew what I wanted in my head but had no idea whether it was possible or not! It just feels so clean and contemporary! God I've been watching too many home makeover shows when I've been off LOL

That's a good thing! It means you'll have lots of new ideas for when you come down to Croydon to decorate my house.....

LOL, John's just run out of the house screaming at the thought of more decorating.
