I've done this post as one post for both bedrooms as they haven't seen a great deal of progress since I last wrote about the bedroom here so I didn't think there was really any need to rewrite the same post about it! In fact the master bedroom still pretty much looks like it does in this post from May except that it has skirting boards now and I've done a little more work on the fitted wardrobe which I will cover in its own post.
The spare room is still the same except full of random crap which doesn't have a home yet and it does not have a door on. Hey not all the rooms can look better!
The plan for the spare room is to knock out the stud wall and get the room just back to a regular spare room, we might make it into a film room as I have a projector. Thinking a sofa bed in there so people can stay over, a desk would also be nice so that I can work on there rather than the sofa and we have somewhere to store paperwork. The original doorway is shown below, but the previous owners added in a partition wall in the room to make room for the loft ladder. Luckily they didn't knock out the old doorway so it will just be a case of taking down the partition and adding a door back on.
For the bedroom I still need to sort out tiling inside the fireplace and get the chimney tidied up. I also want to build some shelves in the alcove to the left of the chimney with a space underneath for a laundry basket. Then really the plan is just to put up decorative things and artwork, change the lampshade and get some beside tables and lamps. Eventually we want to get more plugs in both bedrooms as there is just one double plug socket per room, so we will get the cable for the plug in the bedroom chased into the wall when we do that. Well I say we have one plug per room, the spare room one is half in half out as they have just made a hole in the wall for it rather than move the socket. The light switch was also just run under the carpet from its original place to the stud wall.
I'll leave you on that note!
