Cracking on with my renovation

Well room 1 has been the focus of my attention this week as someone has pulled the wall paper where it was comming up a bit and has ripped it in various places. So started with getting some new curtains as the previous ones were an effort by the previous owners wife who fancied herself arts and crafts (but wasnt) so were not wide enough. They are fab and a grey/black and silver stripe. So under the dado rail we have painted it light grey and have found a great decorator with the help of a fellow guest house owner (www.dragonhousehotel.com) and he is really cracking on. He arrived 9am and had 3 layers of paper off in two hours (these old buildings are like an onion) and by the end of the day today he had half papered the room and will finish tomorro. It shows that sometimes you save money by paying someone to do a job ie it would take me at least a week and a half to do what he has done and so I would not be able to let the room and loose money. Ive also found the perfect wardrobe which fits exactly into the space on one side of the fire place as if it was made for it. (before there was a white melamine one) so now all the furniture matches. I had to redecorate the room to remove the wardrobe as the previous people had wallpapered round it and carpeted round it meaning to change the wardrobe I have had to redecorate and recarpet. This should be a lesson to asirings as it may be slightly cheaper but is much more expensive in the long run. Also I would never buy fitted furniture as if it is damaged it is a nighmare to replace but if it is free standing it is easy. So the top half of the room is going to be cream and ceiling white wish me luck!
