Good night, sleep tight...

...  That's something that is now being enjoyed at Little Munro Beach House.

Woo Hoo, we are finally sleeping in our new bedroom and it feels great.  What with the electric blanket making it toasty and some familiar decor it's such a great feeling to have a 'proper' bedroom.

When we first arrived the largest of the bedrooms was the obvious choice to be our room, but I hated it.  I didn't even like going into the room, can't explain why but it just felt dirty, it was smelly where the house had been closed up for so long and on our first viewing of the house it was the room that our landlord had been 'camping' out in while he had been doing some work.  So it was just used as a store room, there was no rush to move in there and then we decided that rather than wait for the landlord to bring us his desired interior paint we would go for good ole white and make a start on the decorating.  I'd never really been a lover of white paint but it works really well especially in small rooms.  After preping the walls and ceilings and painting it really started to take shape but...  I had no idea what other extras Kris had in mind, all I can say is WOW!

This is how the room looked when we first visited, I considered keeping the curtains and light fitting, not!

So, work commenced and before we knew it there was a bedroom ready for us to move into.  There are still a few things to do, find the perfect 'artwork' for the wall, make rope handles for the wardrobe doors and purchase blinds for the windows.  But, I'm sure you can now see why our new bedroom is now a room that we are happy with...

Kris framed the windows with Rimu and varnished them, what a difference has been made, especially once he made the curtain poles and up went the curtains.  Then the entrance and wardrobe doors were grooved the resemble farmhouse style doors.

We plan on giving all the internal doors and windows a similar new lease of life, in time of course!

Not content with decorating the main bedroom we also decided to work on the hall and the spare room.  Again there is a noticeable difference which is helping Little Munro Beach House look a more like our home.

The spare room has not been finished, we still have the windows to frame, curtain poles to be made, curtains ans blinds to be hung, entrance and wardrobe doors to be 'grooved' and eventually Kris will build a unique bed frame, but at least we know have a comfortable spare room for our overnight guests.

So with one month until I jet off back to the UK, there is one room which I hope to have practically finished.  Work commenced today on the little loo room!
