We’re very excited at the moment, the builder has found some painting under the paint in our bedroom that will be salvageable. It is similar in style to the ceiling. We’re so pleased with our builder, he was as excited as we were and has been explaining how we can clean it up. It will look a little shabby, but I think that shabby-chic is all the rage.
The only disappointment is that this is the room that Ian said could be pink and rococo in style – I’ll need to start sewing the seeds of another pink room (although saying that, buoyed up by our success today we’ve been scraping paint off all over the place and I think the back living room was originally pink…
I think that we’ll probably wait until this first part of building work is done before we decide on how we’ll use the rooms, every day seems to offer new possibilities (and changes of plan…!)
