Lounge room nearly finished

Although the decorating tv shows seem to clean out, paint, and then 'dress' the room all in the same day the reality is much slower. We have finally finished painting the walls of the lounge room (the red feature wall needed a layer of tint and then two layers of colour), the skirting (to cover the old stain they needed four coats of gloss white), the floorboards (ripping up the carpet, sanding and then sealing (three times with sanding in between))... yeah!! Too early to put up any pictures - have done that before and the frames ended up sticking to the walls even though they were 'dry'. We have the couch in and the t.v. on a stool - which means it is finally out of our bedroom. The kids loved having the t.v. in our bedroom as it felt like they were in a hotel - we hated it as it was hard to get comfortable and the bottom of the bed was over the screen (restricted viewing seats).

Tomorrow we will put in all of the rest of the furniture - and finally have room in the dining room, bedroom and bungalow.
