More Progress

Living room

We couldn't afford to get the whole room re-plastered so only half way up the wall where the damp proof went was new.  The walls were a bit of a mess so Jonathan went over with Polyfiller to try and smooth it out as best as possible.

Unfortunately, the only part of the fireplace that has survived are the floor tiles.  They are still there but we have since covered the floor with carpet.

We had new skirting boards as the old ones were not in good condition and had to be taken out anyway for the damp proofing.  It is nice that they are new but I don't think they are as tall as the original ones were, which is a bit disappointing.

We chose a really boring magnolia for the walls.  I usually hate magnolia but after originally making a massive mistake with the brightest citrus yellow ever, I gave in and let Jonathan chose the colour. This may be changed at some point in the future...
