Well...she has moved out now the work starts!

So as I have said before, my eldest has moved out (by the way it is her 23rd birthday today, Happy Birthday Dom!!!), now it is time to get to work on her bedroom! Well she hasn't totally cleared it out yet, so I need to get in there and get the last bits and pieces out. She has left her old iron bed soooo....time for a makeover!!

Looks like I will be getting on to ebay again!!! Too much stuff to keep!

Though I do have plans for these old wicker bedside tables.... I have had them for over 20 years.... I think some white spray paint will transform them and they will last another 20 years!!!!

Olivia will be moving into the larger room (and her room will become a spare room come study for me!)Her sister's old black iron bed was not working for me.... time for something a little bit more fun....go turquoise paint!!!

Well first I undercoated it with Zinser bulls eye, my go to undercoat that works on just about everything!!!

Here comes the turquoise!!!

I couldn't find turquoise spray paint so I had to buy a tin of oil based paint....hmpfff.... a lot more work! But worth it! Though I dont think Olivia is over the moon about it yet....she just has to wait and see the big picture.

So stay tuned and see how the room transforms.... I might even keep the room colour, it was only painted a year ago and I quite like the colour and it seems to work well with the turquoise....there is a lot of other work to do, for some reason I didn't paint the windows in Dom's room when we first moved in so it is time to do that but of course it will be a lot harder now that I have had shutters installed....groan.... plus the skirting boards and door somehow missed painting....funny what you notice when most of the furniture has been removed!!

Well there is a lot of work to do ... I will keep you posted on how I am going!!!!
