I'm really useless at taking before pictures so this isn't very representative of the grey space this room was. We (I) in a fit of madness decided to updo the 'utility' room - better known as junk room of doom...... most people have a drawer of doom - we have one of those too actually, but we also have a room of doom ( and a shed)..
Its not like we don't still have other more important rooms to do but this felt manageable unlike the hall - and we had had to empty it a bit to make room for more 'treasure' coming from our storage which we are desperately (and have almost succeeded) trying to empty. Also we had a downstairs loo fitted and this is the way in so it needed to passable and a bit tidier.
We have a fairly fair division of skills for decorating - Dr Fred mainly does prep and wallpaper stripping and the hard painting bits - i.e. those that require patience - and I hang wallpaper and big painting spaces....
Dr Fred stripped the never ending anaglypta of the walls and then went walking in Scotland and came back to this ....
All done with bargain paper found locally and paint already in the cupboards - its not quite my colours but its such an improvement on the the 1970's cabinet and anaglypta wallpaper - now to find the inspiration for the hall stairs and landing!!!!
