The bedroom's finished!
The walls have been painted Farrow & Ball tallow.
The ceiling, radiator and skirting board are eggshell white.
The door has been painted and a new chrome door handle put in place.
The mouldy built-in-robe has been demolished and a brand new one, built on a different wall, has been put in place.
New Berber-style cream-coloured 100 per cent wool carpet has been fitted.
And a new king-size bed with a chocolate leather headboard and a memory foam mattress has pride of place.
Yes, the bedroom has now been completely refurbished. It looks like a hotel room. And seems much more spacious now that the wardrobe is in a new position.
Unfortunately, because the entire room looks so fresh and new, our existing bedside tables, in whitewashed pine, look a little on the scruffy side. I've now ordered a new set in a chocolate coloured stain, along with a chest of drawers.
I'll post photographs when it's all in place. In the meantime, I cannot wait to sink into bed -- under my new summer-weight duvet (£8 from Primark!!) -- because I haven't had a proper night's sleep in three weeks! Zzzzzzz.
Look forward to seeing the room when it is all in place!

Me too! Me too!
Would like to see your carpet. Thinking of a similar choice myself.
