So I just did the second coat or round of plastering, up where the ceilings meet the walls. Here\u2019s how it was before the re-plaster:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the plaster\u2019s dry, sanded, and re-painted, I reckon it\u2019ll look pretty good. At the very least the surfaces are now contiguous. I might also paint the insides of the storage area white. But keep areas outside (e.g. where the fridge freezer will be) blue. Hmmm?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll also need to re-install a section of coving. Another job I\u2019ve never done before. Taking the damn stuff off is one thing! Putting it back up? We shall see, I guess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tidied up the area with a lickle lick o\u2019 Dragon\u2019s Lair paint, by Valspar (B&Q\u2019s own brand). Teresa also helped me cut a load of carcassing timber, for framing out the storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The timber I bought, from Wickes in Wisbech, also happens to be blue. Owzabout that, then!? I believe it\u2019s treated roofing slats. But whatever it is, it\u2019s kinda fun how it ties in with the whole blue room vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looks nice. Almost matches.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I had a quick peek again, afore turning in for the night. The plaster\u2019s still drying out. By tomorrow it should be fully cured. Then it\u2019ll need a wee sand, and some more paint. Might need to poichase another tester pot of Dragon\u2019s Lair?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then it\u2019ll be time to start constructing the storage itself. I still haven\u2019t decided exactly how I\u2019ll be doing it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
