New windows from https://www.quickslide.co.uk/ were fitted before we started the rest of the refurb on the dining room. The old timber windows were to be replaced with plastic sash windows which we had seen on another old property in the area and liked the look of them. We purchased the new windows from https://www.quickslide.co.uk/. We had looked at lots of alternatives for the windows but after seeing some Quickslide windows newly fitted on a house locally and speaking to the homeowners we decided they were the best fit for our house. Traditional but modern without changing the look of the house. Quickslide are a great company to deal with from ordering to delivery 5*.
The next job was to strip off all the wallpaper
The bay windows stripped back
We removed the old fireplace
and there it was gone
Found this on the chimney breast - signed off the previous decorator
These divided doors all had to be stripped too
Then Gary drafted in his joiner friend to help make them into opening doors, rather than separate sections which had to be lifted out individually
Once everywhere was plastered we had the new ceiling rose fitted
(this is a replica of a rose taken from a church in Slovenia)
We can highly recommend http://www.classicplastermoulds.com/
Needed 3 people to fit it
New chandelier ready to be fitted
We also had the coving repaired too (before)
the rail on the ceiling was missing for half of the room ??
Coving repaired (after)
Decided on a gold theme colour scheme
Next job was to have the new fireplace fitted - we bought a reclaimed slate fire and tiled insert
Then it was time to paint
Glossing the doors
Wallpapering the chimney breast
New pelmet fitted
Gorgeous new curtains by AFW Interiors, Skippers Lane, Middlesbrough. Highly recommended http://afw-interiors.co.uk/
All done time to celebrate
