Final update on this subject.

posted by Babs on Friday, 21 December 2007

Ok, as promised, a final update on our work.

We have now finished the room, until we are rich enough to buy new fitted carpet. Mo patched it up best she could and we decided to try and cover the missing bits with a rug. We were going to buy a large rug and cut it in around the fire but as we were looking for one I suddenly thought. Why spend a minimum of £50 on a rug just to cut up. We already had a smaller one and it was the right colour so we decided to see how that would look.

Once we saw that it would be ok we set about cutting it to shape. Again, I measured and marked and Mo cut it. This is how we seem to do most things ;O)

Here are some photos of the finished room, along with just a few Christmas bits. It’s all we had time to do this year. All photos are clickable to enlarge.


The corner cabinet is some old thing we got from freecycle just until we can sort out a new one, after Christmas. It won’t be a corner one though.


We usually have lights everywhere but Mo made up for it by setting up our disco light. Here is a little video of it.
It isn’t as fast moving as the video though – thank goodness!

I have included two other photos. One for Gold Anne – The gold fairy :O)


and the other of my guitar – just coz it’s lovely :O)


And now a before and after so you can see the difference.


We can now relax and enjoy Christmas :O)

    I can’t believe what a difference it makes. When you see them side by side the old fireplace looks so dated and old-fashioned. I wish you’d get more interesting pictures on the TV though! I can’t wait to see it all ‘in the flesh’ Well done both of you.

    Yay! At last. It is amazing what a difference it makes, and I love the rug. What a good idea!
