It has been a surprisingly long time to get two bedrooms redecorated… but at last we are finished…!
Small Bedroom
Main Bedroom
It all started the end of September, so has taken two months to complete.
The final part was getting the curtains installed by Curtain Flair. The one tiny bit we are still missing are a pair of tie backs for the small bedroom, but can live without that for a few more days. Apart from that, we found Curtain Flair were very efficient and took time to help us decide what we needed and gave suggestions on what would go and what may not be such a good idea. The main issue with them was they are horrendously expensive, but have been very happy with their service 
Of course we are not quite finished in the small bedroom, as we don’t have any furniture, but that was always the plan for the moment. Next year we will be buying a bed and cupboard for the small bedroom and also table and side board for the living room, then that really is the whole house done for the foreseeable !!
Looking back, it is quite interesting to see how it all progressed, so to summarise the different stages, here are the previous reports:
Phase I completed – stripping out and painting
Phase II – furniture installation
Phase III – Carpet
Phase IV – Bed delivery
Phase V (this report) – Curtains
So we’re both very pleased that it’s all finished and can now move back into our main bedroom. I’m really glad I didn’t have to do any of the work myself, as just project managing it all was hassle enough for me
In hindsight, we could have done things differently to get everything in quicker, but timescale wasn’t really a big deal for us. The lead time of both the bed and the curtains were a bit of a surprise, so maybe should have thought more about these items earlier in the process, but otherwise it was all OK really.
So now the house is just as we want it and plan to stay here a long time…. why does Lynn keep looking at house prices in Devon….. ?
