Decorating The Spare Guest Bedroom

This room was previously a child's bedroom according the the lilac carpet and pink disney wallpaper. Before... The first job was to strip the wallpaper which was an easy job as the paper was the pre-glued type and peeled off like child's stickers. The walls were then prepared by filling holes and then sanding down. The carpet was heavily stained so this was removed and replaced with a bargain buy remnant that cost only £59 from a carpet shop closing down sale . The new carpet is a thick, short pile, hessian back in a wine colour. The colour scheme for this room was determined by the bargain buy carpet.

Vanity Dressing Table Makeover With Chrome Silver Metallic Paint

My Weekend Garden Rockery my weekend garden rockery after 2 months After collecting together all the rubble, rocks and plants this rockery was actually built from scratch in 2 days! Before the rockery I had a small area of soil, which was an odd shape, in between some of the concreted areas in the garden.  The previous owners must have used it as a planting area but there was no sign of any viable plants left.  When I got my new puppy he decided to use this area as a toilet and I needed to distract him from this.  Last year I planted this area with busy lizzy's which did look pretty but with a new puppy I didn't think that filling this area with flowers (for him to dig up and eat) would be a good idea!   Around the garden I had quite a bit of hardcore and bricks as well as large stones so I decided to build a rockery.  It is the first time that I have built one from scratch and probably isn't the best looking rockery but I am pleased with it ...
