Job done
Last year we had builders in to do various jobs and for longer than I was entirely happy about our dining room looked like this:
At new year, with the builders finally gone and the room freshly plastered, we were ready to start redecorating. We picked out colours,
braved putting up wallpaper,
(Tim worked speedy fast for me)
and started constructing my library.
In fact, a few months back we were mostly done and I blogged about my almost-finished library here. However, there were a few bits and pieces still to do. Between my sister’s wedding, my lupus flares and us generally wanting to have a life outside of DIY, it’s taken us a while, but today I can finally declare the library finished! And isn’t it beautiful?
Really nice, Kate! I’m a bit envious. So wonderful to have a space with all your books!
But don’t you need a comfy chair, too? Is there space?
Judith We did consider that, but decided that we’d keep comfy chairs in the living room and make the dining room a cleaner, more worky space.
Sigh. I am so envious, it is beautiful. congratulations.
It is lovely…and a fine room for game-playing too 🙂
Joanna Thank you!
lillput Why yes, yes it is 🙂
Ugh it’s so amazing.
I have shelf envy.
The Girl Ah, go on, it’s the Lego minifigs on the mantelpiece you envy really, isn’t it?!
I thought it was a bookshop until I spotted the exit to the garden. It’s atmospheric and inspiring. Lovely.
Beautiful! I wasn’t sure about the dark wallpaper at first but the end result is just stunning. I hope you have many happy times in this room!
What a lovely room. And I love that the doors open to the garden. Well done!
