This is what the second bedroom looked like before it was prepped to be a nursery
The first thing to go was the carpets. They were utterly disgusting! Much better to just walk on concrete than cheap, dirt-infested carpets! Then there was the hard work of filling and sanding the walls. The previous owners put Polyfill on the walls but did not sand it down and then just painted over the unsanded walls. What a mess! A lot of filling and sanding was needed! The window frames also needed a lot of work and it was decided that it was best to paint over the tiles on the window-frame as they were already partially painted over.
Now one the walls have received an under-coat of white and two layers of pink (Pink Bubble - Plascon). The ceiling also needed to be re-painted white as there were a lot of streaks!
The cupboards have also received two layers of white paint and look as good as new! The burglar bars were taken off and dipped so they also received a face-lift!
Next up will be the main door and all the finishings like the door handles on the main door and cupboards. We still have to find suitable ones. We will also get a rose for around the fan light as well as cornices.
An important part of the room will obviously be the flooring! We will write something about this in the blog posts to follow. Until we have more to report - see you (hopefully) soon!
