Just a quick reminder of the old fitted cupboards. I know superficially they look ok, but they were so badly built and ill fitting that I couldn't wait to get rid of them! Plus the fact that we couldn't have a lovely fireplace with the fitted cupboards. The amount of cr*p we had in the fitted wardrobes was unbelieveable - things I didn't even know we had. Naturally 5 bag loads went to the charity shop and all the good stuff went to friends, family and ebay. I made £120 on ebay for charity selling my junk.
When we finally ripped them out the room felt absolutely enormous!! Even with the new wardrobes it feels huge so I think we have definitely done the right thing. As you can see it's nowhere near finished - the whole room needs replastering and we need new carpets and the fireplace installed, but it's starting to come together. Eventually I will paint the blanket box too to match. The really elegant picture was given to my mum (it really is so pretty and the frame is gorgeous). So 2 free wardrobes, a free picture and a free bed frame. Not bad eh? :-)
Here are the new bedclothes and the new cushion covers. The Cath Kidston curtains will go in favour of plain more chic cream curtains and a natural blind.
This morning I got out in the sun weeding the garden. I just love this ornamental cherry tree with its beautiful blossom.
Hope you are making the most of your weekend? x
