Well happy with it, it looks ace

Just stage 2 (finish stripping paper off walls & ceiling ( ), stage 3 (get walls & ceiling skimmed), stage 4 (paint said walls & ceilings) and finally stage 5 (get new sofa delivered & in place) to go!

I think you need to do something to those walls

I love the look of that fire place, what colour are the walls going to be?

Liking the fireplace, dont spoil it by getting a rubbish paint job

What's going to done about the gap between the laminate and fireplace?

 

[ethan]

The fireplace is very clean looking. Good luck witht the rest.

I've got some more laminate to sort the gap out. We were thinking of a quite bold red on the chimney breast with a lighter colour on the rest.
