Luke's very nearly finished bedroom

Well after a huge saga over the new carpet, Luke's room is finished bar the uplighter. When I originally started I didn't envisage having to put 4 coats of solo paint over an orange ceiling. Who on earth paints a ceiling orange??? Now I know why it had paper over it!

Luke wanted a Manchester United bedroom, sooooo..............here we go! The carpet was a nightmare. The first time the fitters came they fitted the carpet and then I discovered it had a huge stain on it. How on earth they missed it I don't know. The second time there was a fault in the carpet itself. Finally the third carpet was fitted and although not totally perfect we are going with it. That's the last time I buy cheapish carpet!
This is the view looking from the landing into Luke's room, which is an L shape.


This is round the L.

This is the flag that we put up on Luke's bed so that underneath is a little den for him.

This is his cupboard/wardrobe. I have been looking for a red voile to hang up as there isn't a door on the cupboard.

This is the litter bin that I "made" for Luke. I couldn't find him a nice Utd one. In B&M I spotted a red leatherette one for £4 so I snapped it up. I used some of the leftover border to decorate it and Luke was thrilled to bits with it.

Thanks ladies. It turned into a mammoth job in the end for such a small bedroom but he was so pleased with it when he saw it.
