Living room

When we moved in here the previous owners had a little mishap with one of the upstairs radiators which meant the day we moved in we found the living room ceiling wallpaper hanging down. It was unable to be saved so we had to strip it all off.

We have painted the ceiling, cornice and freeeze.

Sorry the pic is fuzzy!!

There was also an old Victorian fire was in the living room with a magnificent surround that was fitted with an unused gas fire (it looked both scarey and dangerous!!). As we don't have gas here now, thankfully, we removed the gas parts and re-opened the original open fire. After a very short time some parts of the fire parts disintegrated and we couldn't get replacements so we took a deep breath and changed this....

To this .....

  
We still have to take up the carpet and either sand the floor boards or lay wood floor but I do like the new stove .... and it makes lovely toast too :-)
