Project: Children's Room

I have just finished the children's room. It ended up being quite a long job because all the window frames needed repainting, and the walls also had wood chip wallpaper to strip off first. I am so tired now but feeling much better for having it all done in here. They love it and the colour too!

It is a nice bright room with lots of windows and it is a bit bigger than the room in their old house.

This little mouse sticker was given to us for their new room last xmas by someone very dear to us who suddenly died. So it was very special to put it under P's new desk, and she even made it a little house...

I have had this table for half my life. It has always stayed with me through many house moves. I repainted it it for my daughter who is getting more grown up and has wanted a proper desk for a while now.

Some before and after photos... (I let them draw on the walls before painting)

It originally had wood chip wallpaper painted white and the woodwork was a cream gloss colour.

That electric stove is just for fun but it does produce a good amount of heat. I had it in my loft bedroom in previous house. The leaf garland was made out of gift tags from the lovely Hadley Paper Goods.

The paint I used was Farrow and Ball, Light Blue no.22

I'm so grateful to all of you that have been catching up with my progress via instagram, it has kept me motivated to keep going with this. So much support from strangers that I will always appreciate, thank you!

I'm planning on doing the bathroom next (when I have recovered a bit!)
