(if you wish to avoid having a very pink room, probably best to not let a four year old have free choice of wall paper!)

Still she did choose something that matched the fairy frieze very well.

Painted the ceiling paper with brilliant white vinyl matt, that all looks nice.

Need to do something about the light levels! A natural wood blind was selected and then hacked about to fit the window sash. Some extra architrave was added to act as a runner for the blind. The blinds were about £30 a pop, but worked out a good deal less than the "official" roof window blinds.

I noticed that while the single pendant light fitting was fine for plastering, it did not do the room justice when finished.

In particular it was not well suited to the length of the room, and left the small corner over by the lower window a rather dark and uninviting place at night.

The solution was to splash out on some track lighting so we can point the light with a bit more accuracy and also spread the sources of light along the long axis of the room. This 12V setup uses dichroic bulbs that give a nice colour spill out of the back of the reflector which adds a little extra colour to the ceiling.

Next carpet, the underlay (Cloud 9 "Cirrus") was ordered from an online shop (half the price of the carpet shops).

The carpet came from the local discount shop with a fitter who was well clued up (not a job I like!). The colour is a beige with a pinky tinge.

Slap in a bed, cuddly toys, books, and assorted stuff, and......

Ta Da!

Add small child, Primary object of whole exercise nearly met!

Clear remaining stuff out of vacated room, dismantle old bed, shift cot from our room to vacated room, add smaller and much much too loud child... and...

Really have met the objective this time! Arhhhhh peace, quiet. Sleep,
