The new office - progress

We're making steady progress on the office. Last weekend I painted the ceiling and 2 of the walls before I ran out of paint. Joe picked some more up on his way home from work and yesterday (Friday) I finished painting the walls...

Some time ago we bought some wood flooring in a sale and Joe has got it all laid today, it's wood laminate strips that slot together which is laid on silver underlay.
There were some fiddly arsed bits to cut, the cupboard being some of them and in the main doorway which is at an angle to the rest of the room...


Looking good.
Still to do: Skirting around the bottom of the walls and new light fitting up.
Still to paint: Wood door frames and window frame. Nearly done!

  2. Lovely job! I've got some laminate waiting to be put down in my workroom, but those 'fiddly bits' are keeping me from digging in and doing it. Thanks for the push I needed!

    Sue,
    It looks fabulous. You have chosen the same paint colors that I like. We have done laminate in a lot of the houses that we have renovated and we love it. Can be fiddly when putting it in, put it looks great and is so easy to clean.

  5. The floor looks good, much easier than sanding and polishing!
