This living room makeover post is in partnership with the official Revamp Restyle Reveal sponsors as listed below. Thank you to the lovely Tamsyn for handing over to me on the RRR3 blog-hop.

DesignSixtyNine Interior Update
HAPPY NEW YE… oh. It’s February? How dat happen?? The start of the year usually drags its heels, but somehow this one is running away from me. That’s not to say I haven’t been busy. I’ve been spending a lot of time planning out and prioritising what needs to be done this year: and of […]
Living Room Reveal Part 2… Finally!
First Up, Soz For The Delay This post feels like it has been a long time coming. Probably because it has. Yes, after weeks of me saying ‘next week’ the Living room reveal has arrived. I hope you think it was worth the wait! Eek! For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you […]
Living Room Reveal Part 1… What took you so long?
The Living Room Reveal Took So Long ‘Cos… To start with, it was the ceiling. After painting the bedroom ceiling dark (here), and loving it, Brian suggested doing the living room one too. I didn’t need too much convincing, since I’m a huge fan of the Abigail Ahern style of painting everything out in one […]

Before the bedroom reveal… Fireplace makeover.
So, my whole ‘thing’ was “renovating my Victorian terrace, one room at a time”. Yeah, there was no way that was going to happen. I’m far too impatient for that. Whilst decorating the bedroom and generally prettifying it, I was simultaneously destroying the sittingroom. The fireplace, to be precise. Bring on the second fireplace makeover. It […]
