I have finished the ceiling and walls painting now. It's all a nice deep red colour.
I have cut the beams for the ceiling and stained them black. Tonight's job is to get them screwed into place and start fitting the load-bearing eye plates. Once that's done, I can hang my sling - I cant wait to sleep in it !
I have changed the 5-lamp brass chandelier that was in the room for a plain round LED lamp to give a better overall light.
I have decided to keep the current white wardrobes (to keep the peace with my man), but have moved them to a different side of the room, screwed then together and fixed them to the wall. This left just enough space in the corner for a shelving unit that was already there.
The rest of the other plain wall will get twin-slot shelving fitted.
When the ceiling is complete, I will get the shower tray fitted into the corner and arrange for the materials to seal the floor.
I'm planning to use the 3mm thick black rubber garage flooring and silicone it down to the floor and up the skirting boards around the edges.
Once I have tidied up I will post photos of the progress.
