Beginning in the Bedroom

With the bathroom finished (& glorious) it's time to start looking at the bedrooms.

Decor-wise the spare room is just going to be white, white, white. Paul's a bit concerned that it might be a bit, well, white but we're not 100% certain what purpose this room will have so we'll just keep it simple.

The back bedroom is to be the main bedroom and more thought has gone into it. Both rooms will have the same carpeting fitted once the skirtings are on.

Let's just have a reminder of what stage they're in...
The 2 external walls have had their inner asbestos removed, 4" insulated studding added with plasterboard & skimming. The finished plaster has had a paint-wash applied to seal it. The wall-lights are in.

The French doors (in a bedroom? my luxury!) are in but the floor gap needs attention.

The 2 internal walls are still a thin stud wall with hardboard facing. This is neither sound-proof nor aesthetically pleasing

First things first, those hardboard walls have got to go and we spend some time living in a Japanese way for a time...

Time to get Simon the builder back to replace them with a decent size of studs, plasterboard, etc.

As usual, I've forgotten to take a photo of this stage. It's understandable really, as it doesn't look that different - bare plaster instead of nasty hardboard walls and no holes. There are no doors but hopefully that won't be for long...
