And the work begins...
I'm planning to paint most rooms just to freshen things up a bit. Nipped round for 10 mins the other night to try out some paint colours & this happened 


Planning to paint this room a light shade of grey & I'm not sure that fireplace would work. Only problem is I haven't found one to replace it with But one things for sure is that the room seems bigger without the fireplace surround. Also considering leaving it out totally & blanking the hole
My fridge arrived too. Looks awesome

Personally would blank the fireplace I really dislike them or replace with a log burner, definitely personal preference though

also a great feature in a living room and can be nice to just add a little heat when required
