Cottage In The Town

 

 

 Mr sunshine is just lurking behind the clouds and I'm still in my pj's pottering about so I thought I'd show you what we've been doing.

First we decorated the snug, one wall has the CK roses wallpaper on and the rest  are painted white, I love the wallpaper it really brightens the room up and on a night it feels all cosy with candles lit 

 

 

which was just  the look I was after in this little room at the top of the house!.

 

 

 

The crinoline ladies were cut from an old tablecloth and  stuck  into the box frames that I already had and  I found some new postcards for the big frame,

 

 

 

 

 

 I have loads of lovely postcards so I stuck some along the top of the door frames

 

 

 

 

it's a good way to display them  and I can  change them with the seasons.

 

 

 

The shelf belonged to my sister and was pine so I gave it a couple of coats of white paint and found some nice things to display on it and got a new carpet laid,

 

 

 

 

 

 

the house martins were nesting just above the doors and you could hear them chirping and hear the bells from the church down the road......sounds like a cottage in the country doesn't it.....I wish!! 

 

 

 

 

 

Then it was time to paint the staircase it seemed like a never ending job as I painted all 66 spindles!!

 

 

 

We were  desperate for a new carpet and I fancied a patterned one this time

 

and with the new peg rail in place that was  another room ticked off the list!!

 

 

 

 Finally it was the bedroom's turn, 

 

I got the CK roses  bedding  but instead of wallpaper we decided to paint the wall behind the bed blue and the other 3  white and I'm really pleased with how everything's turned out,

 

 

 

cosy "eidy" at the bottom of the bed ready for the chilly nights,

 

 

 

a little bit of  seaside going on here

 

 

 

en suite in the corner of the room,

 and the other side

 

 

 

 now I'm just waiting for the electrician to turn these jelly moulds into bedside lights and I think I'm done.....for now!!
