Spare bedroom - before and after

We stripped the wallpaper and painted the walls in the spare room a few weeks. Phil and Lou moved in as soon as the paint was dry, so I didn't get a chance to photograph it until after they left.

Before:


After:

The paint colour is Resene Conch. This is a beautiful, serene, blue-green shade, and I am very happy with it. Lou already had the red curtains, and they work perfectly with the colour scheme. I was delighted to buy them from her when she and Phil left. The white shelf unit may look familiar to you from the "before" photo - we are unable to remove it from the wall! The screws on the top refuse to unscrew, and it's not worth a battle right now.

Although the screws to the book case aren't coming off (the heads have become worn and a screwdriver simply can't grip them any more) I think that it's useful having it there. Both Phil and Lou, and now Rok, have made use of it so it's obviously finding a niche for itself.

The room is very nice too and I can't wait to get the rest of the house sorted out. At least we're still working on the house and making progress :D
