Monthly makes



I know this isn't strictly a monthly make but it is what I have spent most of my spare time doing over the last month so I am counting this as my monthly make.

When eldest daughter moved out we gained a spare room.
These are the before pictures. It hadn't been decorated since she was at highschool and she is 25 now.




Here are the after pictures .




I love this wall paper.



I found this picture in Shepton Mallet and knew it would go perfectly.




A great girly light, you can tell Mr T didn't have much say in this can't you.






I couldn't bear to paint over this.



And a place for my charity shop finds.

I now have a guest bedroom for the first time and just in time for our first guests of the year.

  3. I love EVERYTHING about that room (I`ve got one just like the `before` pics with exactly the same time-frame!)- you`ve certainly inspired me to get going with the paintbrush, Gill and I`m glad you didn`t cover up those adorable little butterflies and fairies.
