I made a start at clearing our bedroom. It almost feels like moving house and I am suffering from 'déjà-vu'.
Luckily, this time the move is just across the landing, to the guestroom. Or Irma's Room, as I like to call it. Irma, my mum, has stayed in that room more often and longer than anyone else.
In normal circumstances the guestroom looks something like this :
Then the room got hit by a bomb :
I tried to squeeze as much furniture as possible from the master into the guestroom. Where else would I put it ? Don't fancy bringing everything downstairs, only to bring it back up again in a few weeks time (ok, probably a month).
We brought the two mattresses (yes, 2) from our bed and dumped them on top of the resident mattress.
Meanwhile in the main bedroom, the removal of (too much) stuff is still going on.
I'm ever so slightly embarrassed about the state of the carpet. But not enough to withhold the photo from you. Haha ! Mum ! Look away, now.
As the week progresses, I will update the blog with more of this, if you don't mind.
Till next time.

I bet my carpet would look like that too! It will be worth it in the end.........
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your next post, it is nice to have a change isn't it x
ReplyDeleteHa ha I love the carpet. We made the mistake at one time of having a very expensive cream wool carpet in a sitting room in a house with two small boys. Madness! we are supposed to be redecorating this year - your photos are putting me off xx
ReplyDeleteLet's be clear. This was not our mistake. The carpet, I mean. It was brand-spanking new when we bought the place. Probably also very expensive, being 100 % wool.
DeleteBeing a continental European, we are not used to wall to wall carpeting (as you can see). No amount of vacuuming will keep or make it clean.
Concerning the last point you made, glad to be of service. Haha. xxx...x
The trouble with decorating is the amount of work involved in having to move 'stuff', each time that we do so, I see lots of reasons for becoming a minimalist.
ReplyDeleteUgh' for wall to wall carpets. O give me stained wood floors, tiles even and rugs so much more easier and efficient to dyson the floor clean.
Looking forward in seeing the progression and hope that you stayed safe in last nights storm ?
Oh yeah ! We've always had wood floors and a rug here and there to 'ground' the furniture in a room.
DeleteThere are many reasons for becoming a minimalist, but I don't think I'll get there in this lifetime. Ha!
We are safe. Sleeping in the guestroom however, which is at the end of the house that suffers from the prevailing winds, was quite something. I could 'sense' movement in the house. At times I was worried the roof would come off.
Hope you are safe too.
Yes Patricia, we are okay and well shielded by trees thank you :)
