Redecorated Computer room

[Sonea Fifer]

Cosy area for the pc.

Computer lives under the desk:

Same desk as mine, obviously not my pic though

its blown vinyl? be a nightmare to scrape off if it is

Didn't really give that much thought to be honest, we'll hopefully have sold the house and moved on by the time it comes to redecorating this room again.

It was better before IMO.

I see you're point, the wallpaper I've put up is plain embossed paper. This is quite thick stuff and is the third type of paper I've tried. This is why it took me a week to decorate a small box room, the walls in my house are so bad that short of employing a plasterer to smooth them out my next best solution was thick paper painted to a colour of my choice.

A good alternative is to cross line paper the walls, strip the old paper off, sand the walls down with an orbital sander, then apply a lining paper horizontally across the walls, if the preparation of the surface is good, you can paint over lining paper, one coat of thinned down emulsion, then fill the gaps in the paper joints, apply 2 more coats of emulsion, this can give a pretty decent finish, as you say getting a plasterer in to chip the walls back to bare brick/block can be expensive.

Textured walls?

I like the way you have the after pics 1st.

 

[zooankski]

good use of space and if you are happy then that is all that matters.

Is that pcb ROHS? if not the solder is 60%ish lead!

Sitting in that room would make me feel as if I were still in the womb. So yeah, maybe it's pretty comfy.

It looks cosy but I couldn’t live with the colour scheme.

 

[Ciphon]

Nice one, wish I could completely re-do my "office".... one day!

What the hell is that weird broken and carpetted mdf cabinet still doing there?

And why didnt you replace the BLUE carpet? and why did you paint the walls RED!?


A simple overpaint of the green with magnolia would have yeilded a much much cleaner looking spacious room.

For me the colours don't work; red walls, blue carpet and black chair doesn't look easy on the eye. TBH i prefer the old look even though i'm not a great fan of lime green!!

 

[Dark_Angel]

Nice desk and chair

 

[Efour]

NICE, im really jealous !

What the hell is that weird broken and carpetted mdf cabinet still doing there?

That's the staircase ceiling intruding in the room above. Our house has one too in the smallest bedroom, though it's been plastered over and painted as the room. I can't fathom out why it hasn't been decorated as well

 

[mollymoo]

I like that desk

 

[LordSplodge]

I have one of those HP computers! Currently running Windows Server 2008 R2!

Desk is good but the room decor is not to my taste but well done for giving it a go.

 

[gumbald]

Where did the window go?

 

[Morba]

LLB is not impressed!

I liked the green better but only cause it's my fav colour.

Mines green too almost same as your old green. Don't like leather chairs as I'm vegan but look comfy/sexy nonetheless. I do love that glass desk best upgrade you did and dust isn't a problem 1 wipe of a nano cloth
