The Living Room
Tracy Rutherfurd
This year we concentrated on the living area, which leads on to the garden. We had to choose a colour that was in keeping with the Antique Gold and Black wallpaper and the Frescoed ceiling. After several failed attempts we came up with a buttery cream colour with gold trim. Now we love sitting in this room at the end of a long day.
We still have many leads running from one room to another waiting for permanent wiring to be finished. We race around unplugging leads to add to another light or washing machine, toaster etc.

Before we painted the varnished wood, making the room larger and lighter. We also lifted off the vinyl which uncovered gorgeous oak floorboards.


Before…


After.


Nic found some dry rot on one wall where a storm had flooded the house 20 years ago. He had to pull off part of the wall to fix the water damage.

Before we put the wall back. someone might find our little heart in another 50 years.

A few pieces from the panels were missing, Nic made plaster moulds and glued them in the cavities. Voila!
