Thank you Jess & Claire, it makes me smile when i enter the room now!

I have now completed the room by adding an anchor to the far wall just to give it a little something different!

The anchor is just perfect. It really finishes off the room Kel. Well done. What's next?

So far we have finished the open plan living room for now (i would like a new tv unit & buffet but not desperate & will have to be just perfect!) room is 8 x 8m so was a mission to get just right!! We have finished our bedroom, tv room is nearly done except for the right artwork. 2nd bedroom is a mess and will be for some time, 3rd bedroom left simple so basically done. Bathroom now done.

Next we will probably tackle the small (very) study to put in a room wide desk so we can both be in there at once! Then laundry & separate loo... maybe 2nd bathroom as well.

You really do an amazing job with this forum, i'm now addicted, i will have to ween off before work next week!!!!

Thanks Kel. Getting you addicted is all part of our wicked plan. We hope you still time to pop in when you go back to work. What sort of work do you do?
The study sounds like a good project. Will you custom build or look for something in a store, for the desk?

I work for a telecommunications company in a customer leadership role! I do enjoy my job, however i enjoy decorating/renovating more (you never know there may be a career change down the track haha!!!)

For the study i'm keen to custom make. The room is only 192cm wide and I really want to make the most of the space so we can both work side by side! My hubby is keen to take care of the desk... we'll see

Look forward to seeing what he comes up with for the desk. That is a narrow space to work with but I am sure you can weave your magic again. Don't forget to share with us as you renovate the space.

Great work..............huge improvement.................it is amazing how dated a 5 year old room can look when the wrong colour choices are made but glad you were brave enough to stick with the use of colour.....just the right colour this time..... Spot on...

Love the anchor...
