I've been busy this week. I took 3 sheets of MDF, some wallpaper and some paint and a I made a new room!! Think I watched too much Blue Peter as a kid!
I have been corrupted by the Mrs. I was tee total until she introduced me to Smirnoff Ice!
Someone along the line enlarged the fireplace and put a ugly cabinet in there. Finally got around to decorating the room and it just had to go but to be replaced by what she said.... I said leave it to me, Peter Purves and John Noakes!
I just try and get as much paint on as possible without it running. On the horizontal areas it is easy to do that but on the vertical areas I put it on and kinda keep an eye on it and if I see a run forming I brush it out. Im self taught so that may not be the correct way but it works for me!
Its a downstairs room. When we bought the house we chose it because it had a downstairs room that could be turned into a bedroom and a downstairs shower-room because we brought the Mother in law to live with us and she was a little infirm. But sadly we moved in on November the 18th and she went into hospital on December the 2nd and died on December the 12th. Since then its just been a spare room.
It will now be a bedroom for the 2nd daughter who is 14 and wanted more space as she currently occupies the loft room.
It's good to see that it's going to be used. Sad about her passing though. Is your daughter excited about moving in?
I love DIY but I hate the mess and the clearing up. When we've finished the front room we'll have done every room the house apart form the bathroom and that's going to have to wait. We're undecided on whether to get rid of the bath.
