Master Bedroom Makeover

Those of you on my instagram will remember this picture

I was fed up with our room. I wanted to redecorate (had for a while) and I was frustrated that we'd picked the colours, painted testers on the wall and still hadn't painted.

I'd been staring at this for weeks

Well, on our way to the supermarket the other day, we headed to Homebase and finally got paint! We headed home with paint and other supplies, sorted out the room and snapped some before shots

You can see why I'd get bored/fed up with it.

Due to having other things that needed doing it was quite late before we were finished with the first coat. So we left it to dry, cracked a window and hit the shower and bed (stayed in the guest bedroom). The next day we checked up on the room, it was ready for it's second coat but it was time for my husband to head off to work. So I decided to surprise my husband and I got the second coat done, did the cutting in and by the time he was home it was dried and he kindly popped plug sockets/light switches/radiator off and painted behind them all.


They're now dry and the room is all put back together.

We're not done making over the room yet. We plan to move the desk and computer downstairs, get a chest of drawers in there instead (we have a lot of clothes!). We need to add curtains among other things, but for now it's such an improvement.

Here are some after shots (please excuse the mess, our house isn't a show home, it's lived in)
