decorate my bedroom

Last of the big bedroom furniture should be delivered in the morning. Ordered 2 rolls of wallpaper instead of 3 so ordered the extra roll this evening. So hope I do not need a 4th as they are over £60 a freaking roll!!

Need to measure up the windows and get the blinds made up a.s.a.p

Will pick up paint brushes tomorrow morning so I can test out paint samples, shall then be able to pick up a big pot this weekend.

All I then need to do is phone the decorator/carpenter and as if by magic he will be free next weekend and hey presto new room!

Or at least a girl can hope it will all come together like that…

I have found a fashion/interior designer that might be the one to sort my bedroom out. My only concern now is cost. I imagine her fees alone will cost me at least a grand leaving, out of my original budget, only a grand for new furniture, fittings and dressing. Not enough I don’t think :(

It would be too easy to say forget getting a professional in to do the job but I know even if I made that money available to myself I wouldn’t get round to it. I just wouldn’t. So, I think I will have to bite the bullet and just go with someone that is more than able.

I need to get back to her and let her know my budget to see if there is actually any point in even booking in for the first phase (where she sorts my wardrobe out) and then moving on to fixing the bedroom up.

I need someone to come in and just deal with this on my behalf. Too much clothes not enough storage – need new wardrobes. Need new curtains and window dressing. Need to deal with the cluttered look. Need to paint chimney breast/accent wall. Need new light fittings. Need music system installed on wall (finally!!) Need rug (or carpet)?

I really need to do this now as I have been single for like forever and never needed to worry about it because no-one saw my room but I am no longer single and I really want my new beau to actually be able to set foot in there one day!

I am happy to throw a bit of money towards it – including furniture and labour I wouldn’t want to spend more than 2K.

I have a great bed-stand and mattress which will save money and stress. Just need to find someone to take on the challenge!
