Was worth all of the hard work over the moon with the finished result
With my husband been a self employed builder our house gets little bits done in-between jobs
As with all the rooms we have renovated @ Greenbank they get stripped back to bear brick and "re-built"
Not much mess !!
Ceiling down
Plenty of rubble - so surprising where it all comes from
All stripped
The chimney breast came out to make the room bigger and to allow the bed to go into a different position now there is a door into the new en-suite from the guest room
Boarding walls ready to plaster
Then it was time to take the the windows out in preparation for new bay windows
Again we used https://www.quickslide.co.uk/ for original looking sash windows. Always fantastic customer service.
Gary loves a good bit of scaffolding
With the help of an old school friend we built the new frames for the new windows
They had to be boarded up until we got the new windows
Gary drove down to Brighouse near Leeds to collect the windows this time as we needed them asap
They fitted perfect
Gary's Easter weekend was spent dressing the outside of the windows to make them water tight before it rained. He did a fantastic job.
Then it was time for us to get the new coving and ceiling rose fitted
We used https://classicplastermoulds.co.uk/ their work is first class
Then the bit I like - we started decorating the room
The colour scheme was to be hydrangea and light grey with a black antique bed and chandelier
We used Laura Ashley wallpaper on the feature wall
It was all coming together nicely
Lovely to find little snippets of time's gone by in "Greenbank". While painting the door frame from the guestroom to the new ensuite we found this. The room that is now the ensuite used to be the old linen closet !!!
I upcycled some old furniture for the room using "winter grey" chalk paint
Old pine bedside tables
Striped right back
I had a lovely sunny weekend in the garden for my first upcycling project
I was really pleased with how they turned out and the antique pewter hammer effect handles looked great
I also upcycled an old dressing table
Quite a transformation
We dressed the chandelier ready for it to be wired up
Once the carpet was fitted we erected the bed and started putting in the finishing touches - my bedside tables looked great in their new home
I framed some photos for the walls that I had taken of Runswick Bay and Saltburn beach
Finally all sorted
And relax............................
