And the work begins...

I'm planning to paint most rooms just to freshen things up a bit. Nipped round for 10 mins the other night to try out some paint colours & this happened






Planning to paint this room a light shade of grey & I'm not sure that fireplace would work. Only problem is I haven't found one to replace it with But one things for sure is that the room seems bigger without the fireplace surround. Also considering leaving it out totally & blanking the hole

My fridge arrived too. Looks awesome

Personally would blank the fireplace I really dislike them or replace with a log burner, definitely personal preference though
