I'm so cheap in the bedroom - photos

MATH

The Chez MATH marital suite has long since needed an overhall but as per money is tight. Mrs MATH claimed nothing was salvagable and it all needed ripping out and we needed to buy new, but I with my OS canny ways new better and argued that we could revamp on the cheap.
Mrs MATH rolled her eyes and put an order in for "something pink, romantic and fabulous, darlink" and left me to work my magic. We have never had a pink 'n' fluffy bedroom before but I think the results are ok. Judge for yourselves.

I don't think the furniture llok too bad after a good spruce up with a damp cloth. It may be 15 years old but it hasn't aged too bad IMO

I've mixed up a batch of paint using every cream, buff and petal known to man that I had lurking in the garage and used some left over magnolia for the woodwork. COST : NOWT. The bedding and cushions I got at Woolies in the sale COST : £30


These curtains are some cheap canvas jobbies for a discount store which I've spruced up with some beads from Mrs MATH's craft cupboard. The whole curtain is beaded as well as the tiebacks shown. It took 6 hours and my fingers are now like tea strainers but ha ho. COST : £40

This old frame used to be home to a tatty dried flower arrangement. I took it our and replaced it with a piece of wallpaper from the sample roll that caught my eye in B&QBase. COST : NOWT

Accesorize darlink.... Woolies sale COST : £2 incl the pot pourit. The pink shells I picked up on one of my many beach walks.


The money shot. Not bad imo for about £100

Very impressive MATH!!!!:D

So what's it to be now, MATH interior designer only £100 per hour:rotfl:

Seriously, you've done an excellent job for an incredible price. I take it Mrs MATH is being suitably grateful;)

Is that park visible through the window your garden?:eek:

I'd pay good money for that view from the window.

MATH

hehehehe. It does look like it is our garden doesn't it! Across the lane is parkland and then four miles of fields and woodland until you get to the next village. I'm spoilt rotten for good views and even after all these years I just love looking out of my window at it.

Mr Math you are an absolute star - well done :T

How much would it cost me in euros for you to revamp my whole house....eight rooms???

Really well done, take several bows!

Churchmouse

Get in line meanmarie!!!

I'm going to very graciously allow MATH to hone his skills on my house, and I won't even charge him:rotfl:

Ooops, he doesn't know yet!!!

Wow looks great MATH well done!!! Also well done for crossing the 'pink and fluffy' line, my partner couldn't even cope with a yellow room never mind a pink one, anything girly, pink, red, lilac etc or with flowers is banished from our house

Fantastic. And I love the chair by the window; and that view is worth it's weight in gold. Great job!
