Somewhere to Sleep

The first DIY in the house was to create a bedroom more habitable for us to live in. Although there is a choice of six bedrooms, all are in dire need of refurbishment. Knowing that our living part of the house will be the last to be renovated, as we need to get the income-generating parts done first, we went for a quick white paint job so that we wouldn’t have to spend years waking up to peeling old wallpaper. Merv’s furniture from the UK arrived while we in Australia so we set up camp in the lounge and set to painting over Xmas/New Year. The transformation was remarkable, making the room appear much bigger, cleaner and brighter. At some point in the distant future we will reline and paint it properly but for now it’s great to wake up in a nice bright room.
