Yesterday I spent the day renovating my old bedroom furniture. I was so absorbed in my project I totally forgot to eat. I ate literally nothing until 10pm at night (when I had a yummy omelette). Pre-band I would not have forgotten to eat for an entire day!
I promised myself when I got to target I would decorate my bedroom and revamp my wardrobes (to accommodate my lovely clothes). I spent last weekend decorating and yesterday I covered two chests of drawers in contasting fabrics. I am rather pleased with the results (see pics). I have ordered some little crystal handles to finish them off.
My bedroom is almost complete - a new carpet is needed (as you can see from the photos below!) and a pelmet needs to be added to the new sliding wardrobe doors (hubby has that in hand - that is next weekends' project :)).

I decorated the bedroom without assistance - before I lost weight my arms would have been screaming their protest at having to paint an entire ceiling and 4 walls (the walls required 3 coats of paint as they were a hideous orange previously).
 |
| Each drawer front is covered in contrasting fabric (using glue and staples) - small crystal drawer knobs will be added to the centre of each drawer to complete the look :) |
Dobby (my gorgeous chocolate lab') rather likes the new decor :)

Rewarding myself with time to indulge my creative side is so much more enjoyable, and fulfilling, than buying myself chocolate and junk to eat (as I would have done once upon a time.......) :D
