Almost finished....

The carpet in the lounge and hallway was laid yesterday. Just the curtains to order and put up so a couple more weeks yet:
The light to the left of the computer, will go elsewhere once we have found a replacment shade. DB painted the base in baked terracotta, same paint as on the front of the fireplace.
We have stopped using the old style of gloss as it now discolours so quickly:
It was once white! We now use Satinwood, not so durable but it keeps it colour.

    1. Thank you. It is calming but the photos don’t do it justice.

  2. That looks like a lovely room in which to relax. You're right about the discoloured paint!

    1. Looks brighter somehow, especially for a north facing room.

  3. That looks so lovely. Calming and relaxing and just so homey in the best way.

    1. Especially in cold weather when the wood burner is going.

  4. All your hard work has paid off you have a beautiful and cosy room. I am a great fan of a wood burner, gives a room so much atmosphere in those dreary Winter days.

    1. Certainly does. The walls change colour depending on the time of day.
