I have been asked by a few people about the latest renovations to my cottage in the country and in fact, my study and ensuite have been completed since I last posted here. Today I will show you before and after photos of my study. It is a breath of fresh air after the heaviness of the red ceiling, red and green walls, and blue and green tartan carpet.
My husband and I did everything in here except the laying of the sisal carpet. We created the board and batten walls to cover all the wallpaper and made a cupboard with a barn door, which I love. The ceiling took four coats of paint to banish the red. It is a light-filled room that I am happy to work in.
Next week I will show you the finished ensuite.






Very nice and bright and modern looking! I love all the light and your plants will be happy. Your second career could be interior decorating!
Thank you, Joyce. I have in fact done a lot of interior design work in the past as one of my many careers. It gives me great pleasure to make a home look beautiful.
