The master bedroom is nearly finished

Well, here we have an almost complete master bedroom. We are loving it already.

Still to be finished are the wardrobe doors, which require a coat of paint, and installing a yet-to-be-found light fitting.

Jason undercoated the entire room in a Dulux acrylic primer/sealer/undercoat; one of those all-in-one products. This was then followed up with two coats of a low sheen Dulux acrylic on the VJs and a high-gloss on the door and door frames.

We used plain old white. No fancy white variations for uncomplicated us. And Jason used a brush rather than a roller which is why it was harder work.

Some art work for the VJ walls

Jason removed the top wardrobe doors and spray painted them white and replaced the knobs with something more discreet.

Unpainted wardrobe doors. Painting them white will make them disappear...hopefully

The dressing table is a 1930s English oak piece which we bought when we were first married.
Its days may be numbered, as I'm thinking of getting a mid-century piece to replace it. But I am in two minds because I am still fond of it.

I couldn't resist taking this photo. Poor dear Jason in a state of collapse from all his work, taken this afternoon.

BEFORE:

The image below is what it was like before. It actually looks kind of nice in this photo...however, it needed to be repainted as the paint work was very tired.

Although the cream colour was not offensive it did make the room feel rather gloomy. And we like white interiors.

Jason replaced the single-pane windows to the hopscotch windows so that they were from the same era/period as the other windows in the rest of the house. He also put in new VJ board over the fibro walls under the windows.

Anyway, the room feels much fresher, brighter and in keeping with the rest of the house, which was the main aim.
