    The study has had a makeover! (fifty six kay equals teh slow)

    Quite a few pics here and quite a big changeover so I thought it deserved it's own thread

    Well finally my dad and I spent this week redecorating my Study. The walls were filthy, the carpet was knackered and it generally needed a cleanup. So £120 of B&Q supplies, £40 of Maplin supplies and £90 worth of desks and cabinets later, this is what it ends up like, and may I say I think it looks fantastic. I'm damn pleased with the outcome:

    Looks very nice..but 3 pc's? more like a office
    And you missed a bit of paint in the last pic
    I cant remeber when my room was last even nearly that tidy.. atm I havent hoovered the carpet for about 6 months (the hoover would probably die if I tryed to hoover it how it is now!)and I have everyones junk filling every last corner of the room and floorspace..

    I'm doing something similar soon with any luck - the window needs replacing first though.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
