Under the Stair - Makeover completed

Do you remember this post? It shows what this area in the lounge used to look like before we set about changing it.

After much playing around, this is how it looks now. Unfortunately the sun was hiding today, the room looks so much brighter when it's sunny.

It has become a quiet reading corner




Still experimenting with different fabrics/valences for the shelf. I think that I will probably stick to this one.








I had a small amount of Louise Loves wallpaper left, just enough to cover under the stairs and a little was left over for another small project. I really like this wallpaper but sadly it is no longer being made. However, you can still get some fabric in this design which is called Quilt (pink).

















I've had a lot of fun doing up that little corner and have already moved on to another project...

My next post will be about a beautiful piece of furniture I have just acquired for the lounge.

A bientôt!

Treasure box and giveaway extention

Thank you for all your wonderful blog Anniversary wishes. So many lovely things were said in your comments. Really appreciated!

Well, this week didn't quite go according to plan, hence the lack of posts. Miss P has a heavy cold with quite high temperatures on and off. I have also had people in and out of the house looking at the roof and others giving quotes for wallpapering our bedroom.


A few weeks ago, I spent well over an hour going through several wallpaper books in a interior designer shop in a nearby town. I finally narrowed it down to about six wallpapers that I liked. When the samples arrived in the post, it didn't take long to decide. The one pictured above is what I have chosen for our bedroom.

About 10 days ago this beautifully wrapped package arrived for me in the post. I bought it from Floss, I was lucky enough to visit her blog just as it had been listed for sale.

Lovely packaging Floss!


I'm so pleased with it!

Back to nursing duties...
