The new bedroom before and after shots

Here is the room before we started. The paper is quite modern but I wanted something a bit more tranquil to wake up to, and well the walls were all lumpy and bumpy and the finish in the room was dreadful. 

Here is the room once I'd finished stripping the wall paper

Here is the other side of the room with all the plasterers tools in it.

Here is the boarded ceiling, it was a strange artex before with sections missing from where old built in wardrobes used to be. 

Here is the plastered wall from 2 pictures above. Hmm much better.

So then we had to put on a 'miscoat' of watered down paint. It sucked the water in so much, if you don't water it down enough it was a bit of disaster  (as I discovered on a patch of wall). If we have another one plastered we're gonna take much longer preparing the walls as they were still a bit dusty and had a few bobbles on them in places. I tried to do osme with Gwen in the room but she wasn;t really much help. 

Here she is pointing out that i'd 'missed a bit'

First bit of paint called muddy puddle by dulux - rather aptly named I think.

The skirting went on without too much trouble although with the wibbly walls Chris had to screw them on.  Here is the plaster coving going on, Chris had never done this before and he did a great job i my opinion.  He hated the sanded down after bit though as he said it reminded him of an old job he did with spraying cars/ repairs.

Before carpet

After carpet, hmmm lovely.

Here is Chris putting together the ikea wardrobes, that have been sat in our hallway for 2 weeks or so.

And now for the finished result!!!
