What a difference a day makes..................................

Horrible isn't it, this is my bedroom or was!!!!



A chance conversation with my other half led me to

believe that this monstrosity had been painted

You can imagine my face when I came home

friday to discover that it had not been painted and

how on earth did I think that it would be when we have no paint!!!

I ask you, he says LOL

I have to say I was gutted, when funds are limited

there are certain things that have to go by the way side

and decorating is one of them.

Due to very pouting mouth and near tears,

he promised to go out the very next day and get some paint, YAY!!!

We have lived here for 10 years and have not done a thing

exept the odd lick of paint. So the house is well neglected.

I have to say the draw of buying mohair does tend to

overshadow all else in this house.

Anyway, paint chart in sticky mitts, off we pops to Homebase.

Along the first isle was a trolley with some wallpaper in it,

not expecting to find anything nice, I gave it a cursery glance,

hubby, on the other hand, delved right in. He loves wallpaper

and is very opinionated on the subject, even down to the colour!!

(our very first argument was over wallpaper LOL)

You can imagine my surprise when he found

8 rolls of Arthouse, vintage paper at £1.50, even better they were

having a 15% day so it cost £1.27, you can't beat that.

Here is the result

What a difference, amazing, in one short day

we have treansformed the room

The cost ........

.......wallpaper ...............................£8.89

.........curtains ................................£9.99

.......crystal (plastic) chandelier........ £16.00

...........red cushions...................... £3.98

........total .......................................£38.86

..............the throw I bought about 6 years ago and refused

to use until I had a nice bedroom

A bargain all round really.

As for bear making I only had time to finish a little commission,

so me thinks I have a bear making weekend coming next weekend

Hope you like it..........................and the moral is,

you may be poor but you can have a nice house

(I hope your reading this hubby LOL)
