Sackville Street Bedrooms

When purchased, Sackville Street had 2 bedrooms which included a large one at the front. From the beginning, the plan was to create/reinstate a third bedroom/study. This we did with a stud wall at one end of the main bedroom. This still left a decent size bedroom, as shown in most of the following pictures.

The bed came from an advert on Facebook marketplace costing £21. Please note the missing crystal knob bottom right leg. Apparently, the grandchildren were recreating Bedknobs & Broomsticks and broke it!! Readers of an age will know what I mean.

Sackville St. – Let the Plastering Commence

Bedroom 1

The next few photographs show the stages achieved so far at our current project. The was taken after the carpet and fitted wardrobes had already been removed. The second was taken after hours of steamy wallpaper stripping which included the nicotine being melted from the ceiling into one’s hair! Lastly, plastering, it looks like we are finally getting somewhere. Not long for the paint
