After we had taken all of the awful wallpaper off the walls we had a kaleidoscope of paint colours that had been there at some point in the last 70 years. We had pink, light green and dark green. I still thought that was an improvement on the wallpaper though!
Unfortunately it also meant that the walls needed re plastering. That meant that I had to score the walls ready for the plasterer. This was done using several runs of craft knife blades, 2 aching arms and several weekends of hard work. It's worth it though as the final finish is much better. We've also replaced all the doors, the orange carpet, the light switches and plug sockets, the radiator and the banister.

| Old banisters |

| New Front door |

| New Radiator |

| New banisters and carpet |

| New doors |
We still need to replace the 3 way light switch by the front door but the hole in the wall needs expanding, box in the gas meter, varnish the front door and the door to the dining room and also put up the stair rail.
