B4 Blues :(

Well, here it is in all its beige blandness, the next room on the diy hit list.

 Feast your eyes folks because this is a sight that in a few short weeks will no longer blight your eyes.

 I tried to count back to the last time I decorated this room and it was around a decade ago.

 I guess what with working full time and then my caring responsibilities for my mum Joyce it just got put further and further down the list of things to do. 

But, now I care full time instead and I have 8 hours a week to myself to get it done!

Tough call.

 I am only one person here so don't expect miracles, and don't forget the fact that I have an exceptionally challenging budget, equalling next to zero!

 I won't be doing any structural work so all the walls will still be here when I've done ;). This is purely a paint plaster and fill job but hopefully done with a little style and a whole lot of savvy.

So onto explaining the pics below....read on!

THE BIG ALCOVE - this holds my dining table set, bought second hand
 with two folding chairs for £75! Bargain!
 It extends and would easily seat 8! Expect to see a makeover!
 It's solid teak G Plan Mid Century and matches the furniture in the next pic.

BIG CLUTTER - Eekk not much to say, the side board is also G Plan and has
some glass fronted shelves (not in pic) that go with it,
this was free from my Dad's neighbour to him and when my Dad passed away it became mine.
Again expect a sympathic upstyle!

Where we sit, massive comfy brown leather, I'm planning to give this a little up-do too!

Lastly, the unpainted interior of the built in cupboard in the far corner of the living room.
 Its large enough to turn into a small home office/craft/art room,
but so far has been used as a generally unloved dumping space :(

Another shot of the interior!
Spot the Christmas paper and some bent wood chairs I can't bear to chuck,
I'll re-use them promise!

And there we have it, dull isn't it. Uninspiring and worn. Frankly I feel depressed......I wonder why?

BUT Chin Up! IT'S ALL GOING TO CHANGE!!!!! 

Exciting!

I'll keep you all posted, and remember the competition? Well all you have to do to win a  piece of hand made Wall Art is FOLLOW this little blog :) or like and share on FACEBOOK.

I better get started, take care till next time,

Samantha
