Library Makeover, decided to spruce up the library pre Christmas.
Added some wi-fi lighting as I didn’t want the mess and expense of rewiring this room. Painted bookcase and three walls in Dulux Tahitian Treat and fireplace wall in F&B old school white. The room has more depths and the new colours compliment the furniture and bring out the colour.

I don’t have a before and after for this one but a little bit of imagination should do the trick. The original scheme was all the same colour walls, no shelving and not much going on. This room felt like an outsider and yet it’s a very much loved part of the property and well used. A little bit of TLC was needed it to make the room feel part of the new designs. One tin of paint and some shelving to the back wall brought this space to life. I added some blackboard paint to the wall for use by children and adults for a bit of fun. The plants on the shelves give the area a fresh feel and the block of colourful candles from Flying Tiger add a splash of vibrant colour against the dark backdrop. Hope you like it. Anyone wanting any interior advise or work done, give me a call or email me. O’Brien Construction Ltd.
