Bedroom blind

Just finished putting up the blind in our bedroom. I thought it was going to be a bit of a nightmare to line up the holes in the wood with the holes in the wall but Lu came up with a good idea and it all worked out quite well!

So we now have a proper anti-light device in our bedroom rather than the curtain from our last place which had temporarily (for a year!) stuffed in at the top if the window to keep light out.

Next, I'll be attempting the blinds in the loungebay window!

Architraving

I have finished adding the architraving around the bedroom doors. We can finish lining the room now and putting down a layer of white paint before we pick our room colours.

We have also painted the cupboard white and I've finished the ceiling coving and skirting board beading.

Bedroom cupboard

We had a carpenter make and install a built in cupboard for our bedroom earlier this week. We still have to prime and paint it but this is a big step to completing the room.

We can finish the coving, beading & lining now, and then do the architraving around the doors and more!

Bedroom view

One of my favourite things about the house is the view from our bedroom. There have been some amazing sunrises in the mornings. You can't really see it in this one but there is a church in the distance and the Downs are visible on the horizon.

Excuse the soil pipe in this photo, you don't see it when you look out the window. I stuck the camera out and was trying to get the best colours. 

Bedroom fireplace

We had the handyman come round today to help us install the decorative fireplace (we won't use it) in our bedroom. He made pretty quick work of it with a kango drill and I even capped an electrical outlet all on my own and survived!

The room is pretty much ready to crack on and decorate now.
