23 October 2015

So last month we enjoyed sprucing up the livingroom.  Before and after pictures.



Right before I start taking down the long curtains - actually after we had already wall-mounted the TV and moved out the big clunky TV cabinet.

Obviously also watching Wreck It Ralph and the adorable baby who is obsessed with the overhead light and the sneaky ketchup bottle next to Felicity's tea!  Note plethora of color samples on the wall....


Without the pelmet material

Exposing the shutter-like wood panels next to the window.

Covered up the chandelier with bin bags.  The entire window exposed after we ripped down the pelmet stuff.

Cracky ceiling stripped

Window wood painted.

All the cracks had to be filled, sanded, then filled again.  The room was incredibly dusty.

Some of the right major flaws in the ceiling

Wooden windows like new.

Painting finished! - no blinds.  

Furniture going back in the space

Finished painting with the sunshine on it!  (Before I brought the piano in.)

Lovely blinds - they look even better in the sunlight.

With books, toys, plants, and pictureframes

Sorry, terribly squint picture, but it gives you the idea.

And finally, F in her 'cheetah' pajamas that she *loves*  Fits her just right.  :-)
