Bedroom Upgrade

When I moved in I bought some test pots of paint for various rooms and for 5 months my bedroom still looked like this:

I finally decided it was time to do something about it and turn my bedroom into a proper bedroom.... So time to start painting, and it wasn't long before my walls went from looking like this:

To looking like this:

Still plenty to do though... That lovely magnolia skirting board for a start! Which against the magnolia walls make everything look very, well, magnolia... Who ever thought magnolia skirting boards was a good idea really needs a good talking too... It just doesn't work, especially if the walls are magnolia as well... Makes everything look tired and dirty... So, time to get the white gloss out and sort it out!...

Lurvely!... :(

Nice and fresh! :)

Now my bedroom looks and feels a lot cosier! :)

But not done yet. The alcove needed a few shelves to make more effective use of the space and create better storage. 

But I wanted to make sure everything blended in, so painted the supports before I put them up...

And on with the drilling with my new drill that actually works! 

Note to anyone thinking that a drill from Argos for £10 is a good deal, it really isn't, they really are rubbish!... Had it for ten years though, before I decided it was time to get myself a proper drill!...

And the shelves are up! The bodach was about to help drill holes in the wall and make sure the bubble in the spirit level was in the right place, which was handy!... ;) 

Looks like a proper bedroom now and I'm very happy! :)
