    Those hideous fake leaded patio doors really made the room dark,you wouldn't think changing them could make such a improvement to a room.
    And that ceiling, much better without the wallpaper.:D

    Only thing I would have done, is put some skirting around the boxing in, makes it look neater & finished.

    Great job, gives inspiration to others on this forum,what can be achieved with a little planning.:)

    Until you mentioned it I hadn't even considered it ... I guess there is an element of swept under the carpe . Good job the unit covers it ;)
