Ryan's room starting to take shape

Last week I took a break from bag making slightly driven by guilt, plus a desire to see the finished project. The lining paper was completed and the white paint came out. Normally I love a spot of emulsion, but bar painting ceilings I can't remember ever painting using white emulsion and now know why, it's horrendous.

Three nights it took and the room is only 3 mtrs by 3 mtrs !! I also appear to have more paint on the floor, luckily we are changing his carpet. He are some pictures charting my progress .



I had the idea of using wrapping paper on his skirting board and have to say I'm very happy with the effect.

Had a trip to Hobbycraft on Saturday to buy some waxed card to make the template for his wallpaper. He wants various sport related images on one wall, not sure how it will all come together but we are getting there.

 The plan had been to give him a bit of Astroturf as his carpet to tie in with the football / sport theme.






However on looking at samples I decided it would be too rough under foot and we now have a red or green carpet to choose from.

 Not quite there yet but definitely getting closer. It's his birthday next month and I really want to have it finished before then....so watch this space
