October 2009: Bedroom progress….

With a few rainy days during our October visit we turned some of our focus onto what is currently the master bedroom (eventually to become a lounge/tv room). For some strange reason there was a small window between the bathroom and the bedroom. A couple of pieces of plasterboard and a light coating of plaster and it was gone!

 I am not a great plasterer, especially with French plaster which is almost plaster of paris and cant be ‘floated’, but the good news is that the rest of the plaster is not great either som my efforts fit in well.

 After completing the elimination of the window we started to paint over the lovely ‘pink’ on th elower part of the walls and remove the brown dado rails. Unfortunately the dado rails had been attached to the walls before the plaster had been applied! This left not only a hole to be filled but ridges of plaster that we will need to remove in places.

 We unfortunately ran out of paint (we import Dulux from the UK) but covering up/removing the brown has made a big difference.
