Master Bedroom - fitted wardrobe demolition

So, it's a year since I was stripping the wallpaper in the master bedroom... and not much has happened in there since!  We mostly use the room for drying laundry and generally storing stuff...

The master bedroom had fitted wardrobes that were 1980s-tastic... melamine doors :)  Here is a still from my first house video, with Ian demonstrating the mirrored door ;)


And here's how it's been looking for months...


On Sunday night we decided to start taking the wardrobe apart... it was an absolute bugger to get the doors off!  In the end we had to saw some of the plastic fixings...


Another sneaky glimpse at the original pink paint that decorated the room.. and two different textured wallpapers.


Ceiling paint colours


Doors are off! This is the back of the mirrored door, the backing has decayed in an interesting pattern!


Doors off and starting to remove the shelves... 



Bowed shelves:


Everything down!


35 years of dust...


Ready for disposal!


Finished!  Now I just need to strip the wallpaper from the alcove...


Paint samples.  The chosen one is top left, with the fabric sample hanging on it (which will be the curtains)


And in other news, we've ordered our kitchen units!  Just need to order the worktop now.  Kitchen will be fitted in late May.  Here's samples of the kitchen cabinet doors (gloss white), worktop (light grey), flooring (dark grey), and potential wall colour:


Also, Ian says my collection of paint swatches is getting ridiculous...


And finally, our new bathroom should be fitted last week in March/first week in April!
