Momentous

I’ve just applied the final dollop of paint to the last door in the flat. The redecorating is, finally, complete. Here’s a tally of what we have done:

• repainted the front door
• replaced all five internal doors, fitted new door furniture and painted them
• repainted the bathroom, hallway, bedroom, kitchen and living room
• ripped up the carpet in the living room and repaired the floorboards
• new carpet in the living room and hallway
• new carpet tiles in the kitchen and bathroom
• refitted the curtain pole and added new curtains in the living room
• replaced the bath panel
• painted the kitchen cupboard doors
• added two new prints and a large mirror in the living room, plus a new potted plant
• removed shelves and considerable amounts of "stuff" to storage
• removed old sofabed and taken loan of groovy green sofa from Lord Percy

As Hels says – basically, the place has been gutted, and it looks a gazillion times brighter and fresher, which has certainly added many times more to the value than the £800 – £900 that it has cost me.
