Everybody knows how to decorate and so we will simply let the before and after images tell the story of how we went about transforming St Marks living room for us and you. From ripping up the carpet, sanding floors, hoovering cobwebs off ceilings, choosing dark colours for vibrancy, putting in a picture rail, wallpapering, decorating plates that were left here for us, up-cycling a table bought in an antiques warehouse and finally getting curtains after being without any for 3 months, we now have a living room we hope you will love when you come to relax here and watch a film.

Restoring the fire and adding an ash box
Painting up what we have rather than replacing
The finished result
