Well that was a fun four weeks ... let's not do it again for a VERY long time!

[dizzojay]

I've been dreading it, but now it's over (well, almost anyway).  The long awaited redecoration of my living room is nearly done.  After 4 weeks of upheaval, my home has gone from this:






to this:



Okay, I'll admit the camping chairs ensemble doesn't do much for the new look, but they're all we have until the new couch arrives in six weeks.

Proper curtains and ceiling lights can wait until the new year!

I like it, it was worth all the hard work. Only the finishing touches to go.

Thank goodness!! :)

it' much brighter! i love the color scheme for the new look too!

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

It is much lighter, and we've offloaded a couple of pieces of furniture that made the room look darker too.

[be-my-precious.livejournal.com]

what color is the couch going to be? curious me being curious is all :)

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

It will be black leather - I didn't want to o/d on the burgundy!

[be-my-precious.livejournal.com]

that's a good choice! i can't believe you'll be in camping chairs for 6 weeks though! (that's a long time)

The camping chairs are an improvement on the beanbags we have been sitting on for two weeks. We eventually had to concede that our poor backs would never survive another six weeks in beanbags!

[be-my-precious.livejournal.com]

lol! yeah, camping chairs are much better than beanbags!

Looks good! I can't wait to see the new couch!
*Hugs*

Thanks :)
The new couch is black leather - I didn't want to overdo the burgundy, and I can't wait until it arrives!

[moondropz.livejournal.com]

Oh nice, very nice!

[spnreversemod.livejournal.com]

The burgundy looks warmer, I think. I bet you can't wait for the sofa to arrive and everything to settle down again!

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

It does look warmer, and the oyster coloured walls are brighter.
Yes, the sofa can't come soon enough - I can't wait for everything to settle down!

Um, reversemod was me, I forgot to log out. You probably guessed that, huh? LOL

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

I figured it was :)

[lysanatt.livejournal.com]

It really looks much lighter now. (That tree stump table thingie to the left is gorgeous, btw) At least you get the couch before the holidays, yes?

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

It is much brighter, definitely!
Barry and I love our wood, we have a couple of pieces of furniture in that style, I think it's fascinating!

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

Oh how gorgeous honey!! ♥

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Thank you :)
No doubt you'll see it for real sometime soon x

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping so :D I'll see you on the 13th of December, but I'll probably go from Alton x

Looks like I'm not the only one in redecorating mode. You've been a very busy gal, and that red is absolutely gorgeous!

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Thank you, glad you like it. Burgundy is one of my favourite colours :)

[jj1564.livejournal.com]

It looks great so far, even with the camping chairs! The colour looks warmer and I love the painting of the three horses on the wall - one of yours?

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

No, it's a print of a painting of three famous racehorses; Red Rum, Desert Orchid and Arkle. I have an unwritten rule of not putting my own pictures up!
Glad you like it; I loved the cool green that we used to have, but it was time for something different :)
