Sorry we missed a post on Sunday - this D.I.Y. malarkey is taking more time than we thought; probably something to do with actually sorting and organising our stuff rather than just assuming its already perfectly tidy and that there's no rubbish hiding among the useful bits! For some reason this is taking a long time...
As we were discussing our plans for the bedroom we continually hit a stopping point. It went something like this "we can't do [insert plan here] - it would clash with the pink carpet". At the eleventh hour we decided the carpet would have to go. We inherited this carpet with the house and it still had a bit of life in it, but it was a rather vivid colour and so to simplify things this happened:
 |
| Starting with the carpet, lovely isn't it! |
 |
| The rather battered chipboard found underneath. |
 |
| First things first - the underlay. |
 |
| Slowly building up the new laminate. |
 |
| As work progressed into the evening things were getting rather gloomy. |
You'll have to wait for the end of the project to see the final finish (mostly because this was the last shot taken before we moved onto the next task!).
