Home Tour: Part Two

THURSDAY 10 JANUARY, 2013  /   COMMENTS [10]

Dining/Living room and a little bit of the outside.

Again, we didn't do major reno. We bricked up the one wall in the lounge, as it was a random old entrance hall but it was mostly fixing up cracks, painting and changing light fixtures. We also decided to change the very yellow varnished wooden floor to a light white wooden look. If you remember I was quite set on an all white house, but i'm so happy we went with greys for the walls in the end. It makes the white pressed ceilings and the floors pop.

We're still planning to change a few things, get cooler lounge lights and put some art on the walls but i'm pretty happy we've got it to this stage from what it was. I unfortunately didn't take proper before shots, so these are few random snap shots just to show the progression.

*excuse the christmas decor.

Dylan built this wooden tv mount. It saves space, hides the ugly wires and adds some texture to the room.

(Candle holders from Dylan's Gran, and some pretty old school twizzler candles I found in a dusty old shop)
