Even more paint....

All the walls and the ceiling within the hall and landing have now been sprayed with All White farrow and ball paint - the skirting board still needs seeing to...

+ the staircase needs to be fished off with pitch black floor paint

All this MUCK and dust is making me VERY twitchy!!! My OCD is on overdrive...

BUT - at least...you can start to see what the end result will look like when all the painting is finished!

Reception 1 -

All White farrow and ball on the walls and wood work...1st coat needs to be finished.

Black Radiator's...

The 1st of the 2 black radiator's which a local car mechanic sprayed black for me was also delivered yesterday.

The black radiator's will be hung within reception 2 and bedroom 4 as walls are going to be painted Farrow and Ball pitch black.

Bedroom 3...

Bedroom 3 is starting to feel a little more like a dressing room with the addition of the NEW floating shelf 

The plaster has being removed from the wall and the shelf brackets added to the vertical frame work within

When completed the wall will be re-plastered to hide wall brackets so that the shelf has the elusion that it's floating.
