Family/Chill out room - after pictures!

So, yesterday I told you the tale of the building of our family room and showed you the before pictures.

As I said, we only did a cheap makeover on it and decided on a seaside theme. We painted the wallpaper white and brightened up the woodwork. Changed the hairy floortiles to a whitewash wood effect vinyl. Covered the built in storage seats with blue duvet covers and the same wood effect sticky back plastic on the bar with fabric. Made some bunting and put up other seaside bits and pieces. Bought a Laura Ashley daybed and made some red,white and blue cushions. Then finally filled it with toys, game consoles, dvd's etc!

So here are the piccies I've been building you up for.....




We have since added a table tennis table, mini fridge, disco ball and karaoke machine!!
It is a well used room by the children and their friends, as well as when we have friends round! 

Here are just a few of the seaside bits too






Hope you agree that just a cheap makeover made quite a difference!!
