As you can see, there are rather large gaps along the top of the walls. MONT pulled the cornice down and was surprised that it came away relatively easily and with minimal damage. The ceiling looks like it's floating in mid-air
He's also wired in a couple of down lights, so we can read in bed, and put in a two way switch (concealed just behind the bed) so we don't have to get out of bed to turn off the main light.
Plaster goes up today and the cornice goes up on Monday. Hopefully, it'll be ready for painting by Wednesday, which gives me enough time to finish it before the floor man turns up to perform his magic.
Such a big job you guys are undertakng - it will all be worth it in the end when you have your glorious bedroom to enjoy! x
ReplyDeleteIt's coming along so well. How great that MONT can do electricals!. As to the grey colour, we used to have grey trim in our old place which was a very subtle light grey. I think it was called flannel flowers but I'm not sure which brand we used...xx
ReplyDeleteAmanda it will be worth it! The end is in sight...I can see it off in the distance.
ReplyDeleteBrismod, thanks for the colour tip. I'll check it out when I'm next at the paint shop. I'm sure the'll know of it.
Well it's all action. I always think it's not until it's painted that you truly appreciate the results. The end is indeed in sight!
