Dining/Living Room Transformation

Posted by   on   in , , ,   / 3 comments 
This is the first room we have tackled and it will be our dining room once the living room is done but for now it is a cosy living room.

It started off like this


 green artex (textured plaster stuff) on the walls, awful fake beams on the ceiling, horrendous carpet and mould on the walls, nice!

Husband took it back to the brick and took the ceiling down

then we got some fantastic restoration builders in to clad and insulate the walls.

They were then plastered and after a week of drying I painted.

Oak floor was laid

and we now have a fab room. We still need new doors, skirting and door architrave but it is so much better than it was and we have really enjoyed sitting in front of the fire this Christmas!
