I'm not sure if I have any readers left, after being on a blog hiatus for so long! If anyone is left out there - hello and please accept my apologies.
Before I entered into my hiatus, I know I promised that I would post some official before and after shots. I'm not one to re neg on my promises, so here is a little taste to wet your appetite... my living room, then and now!
Before:
Here is a photo looking from my kitchen to my dining and living rooms.
You can see at the end of the picture, there is an area separated from the living area by a half-height wall. I'm not sure what the intended purpose of this space was, but the half-wall rendered it pretty useless. I had considered opening it up into the living room, but this would have made for an unusual space. Instead, I converted the space into a third bedroom.
Here is another picture of the living room, with a view of what is now the third bedroom and into my hallway.
You can see in the third bedroom, there was once a large space with a desk (far left of the photo). This ended up being the perfect size to install a built in wardrobe.
During:
Here is a picture from a similar position as the first image. As you can see, at this point in time the area has been separated off to create the third bedroom and the flooring has been laid.

And just another shot of the newly created room. I don't have any "official" afters as the room is now occupied by by housemate. (I can only guess that it's probably messy!)
Afters:
Ta-da - the finished room!
The Barcelona chairs are a new addition to my home, as of this weekend! I manged to pick the pair up for a bargain price.
PS - do you spy my target mirror in the back? I only just got around to hanging it.
My vintage sideboard and collection of amber glassware.
Here's a close up of my display. Don't you just love the ram's head? We won't talk about the issues I went through in hanging that baby!
I hope you guys enjoy the photos. I'll be sure to include some pics of my kitchen soon (it needs a bit of a clean!)
Finally : )
