update on bedroom
 

back in march i posted pics of the main bedroom in the 1930s council cottage i bought 2yrs ago,it was in a sorry state and i wasnt looking forward to starting it but with such a bad summer there wasnt much gardening done so i got stuck in,heres a few before and after,im pretty chuffed with the way it turned out,i done it all myself except for the new floor boards,hope you like.

update on bedroom
 

wow !love the bedroom ! love the lamp! love the mirrors ,look forward to seeing more !

Thanks so much,i have to say i didnt enjoy doing it,especialy doing it on a shoe string,the mirrors were 5euro in a charity shop,the drawers were are old brown ones i painted yrs ago,the blanket box i got from a school i worked in yrs ago,the wallpaper was a mark down in homebase before i even mouved here,but the best bargain was the wicker chair,i was walking the dogs up the bog and i found it in the bushes in perfect condition,i couldnt believe it,i had to carry it half a mile and hold 3 dogs but i wasnt leaving it,weeks later i found the squashed remains of a footstool to match but a tractor had gone over it,agh well,i treated myself to the canvass of the dog for15euro because it so like one of my dogs minus the patch eyes.
I have before and after of my tiny kitchen but i had trouble with this laptop and my pics are lost on it somewhere,im not greatat the tech stuff.
Ruby Ruby where in Laois are you,im in Portlaois

Fantastic job. When I saw the before pictures I thought 'My God, you are brave!'

I second that!! Well Done!!

Well done you! Brilliant!

Great job - congrats

ok my reaction to the first 2 pics were " Holy S**T!!!" and then to the last 3 it was "Oh My God!!!".

This is seriously amazing!!! You should be so unbelievably proud of yourself!!!!! It's Gorgeous!!!

great job.
