Actually, not that bad an idea!

We have the furniture, it just needs doing up. Going to spend all weekend refurbing and then moaning the fact I HATE MY BED!

or Freecycle http://groups.freecycle.org/ReadingUK/posts/all?

The stick-on polystyrene ones from Wickes in the vicarage just don’t sing the same way. My children have the wardrobes with doors hanging off, the concrete mattresses and Auntie Vi’s mouldy upholstery because it takes adult sensibilities to appreciate the best. As I’ve said before, you’re a much nicer mother than I am.

There’ll be no risk of losing our sense of “us” – seeing as most of the furniture in there has been handed down to us and wasn’t actually of our choosing I think the makeover will finally give us the opportunity to stamp our own style on the room. That’s what I hope anyway!

As someone who has expererienced a sleepover in your current space, how can it be improved?

I look forward to seeing the transformation! We had a bed identical to that – it went down the tip a few weeks ago now that we have some more ‘grown up’ furniture at last!
