So now we can finally put my craft room together...we have ordered the wardrobe inserts....and after the last fiasco we have measured and remeasured and remeasured again to make sure we have the correct measurements. I have decided that instead of getting shelving either end and drawer/shelving in the middle, we will get hanging space at one end with 3 sections of shelving, besides the fact that the drawer units are too expensive.
We ended up painting the room the same pale blue that was used in the ensuite...what a difference natural light makes to the colour, ended up only doing the one coat so it wouldn't be to dark.
Into the room went the blue striped chair and otterman that have been sitting in our parents retreat for the last 11 months...the ironing board finally has a home and we also put one of the table we bought from Borders when they closed down, this is for the sewing machine and overlocker...somewhere, in one of the many boxes still in the garage is the electrics for the overlocker...hopefully we will find it.
Hallway....well...you will either love the colour or hate it...bright yellow. We wanted something to brighten up the hallway which tends to get a bit dark...I would really hate to see it if we didn't have the 3 niches in the family room wall to let the light in.
We also bought paint to do the rest of the house....we will start with the other wall in the hallway and move on into the bathroom, loo and laundry before tackling the remainder of the house. There is nothing wrong with the paint that we originally chose but it was a low sheen paint and we prefer a semi acryillic paint.
