As soon as we moved house we decided to start decorating the living room as we wanted at least one room where we could sit and feel like we were at home. We moved house in November so we didn't have much time to decorate before Christmas but soon after moving we arranged for a plasterer to come over and plaster over the ceilings and so the process began!

Once all the plaster was dry the next mission was painting the room - I was able to help more with this part, we chose a duck egg blue colour for the walls and decided on a feature wall with wall paper from Laura Ashley (my fave) We also painted the ceilings in a cream colour and added white coving, this meant the coving stood out more. Neither of us had done decorating like this before so I think we underestimated how long it would take!

The next step was to lay down the wood flooring which I absolutely love, we brought this whilst it was in the sale from homebase and it was a real bargain. My dad helped Rob with this as he had never done it before. My mum and I popped to the town and when we got back half of the room was done so it went down pretty quickly! The overall effect of the wood flooring was amazing and made such a difference to the room, we instantly loved it.
I will include some pictures now with the room completed, we are still waiting for a chair to arrive for the corner and I also plan on hanging up a big picture of our wedding day. Overall I am really happy with the room and it is so cozy in the evenings when we draw the curtains and put the candles on.
