Renovating our flat, Jolimont, Toulouse, France
We've been busy renovating our bedroom in the new flat.
Before
Yucky doors
Could it have been any more tacky?
My god those stripes are hideous
Oops... we started to paint over the wallpaper and then realised it was actually made of cotton! It gave a horrible finish and we had to rip it all off, down to the plaster.
The walls after all the wallpaper had been stripped off.
Starting to put down our own choice of paper.
After
One clean door. Done.
We decided that two tones would give a lovely warm feeling
See?
And a wee something to hide the messy cutting, where the two different colours join. Will still have to paint the window frames and the borders around the bottom of the walls -- that orange colour is definitely not staying!

All done!
