Negatives first . I messed up the car picture and have to remove it , some of the white came of from the colour wall. I got paint on the carpet.

Positives. It's taken me a long time to get to this stage although it's not 100% it looks like a kids room. And not like temporary accommodation so on the whole I'm happy with it and I think the boys will like it to.

You will have to take a pic of their faces when you do the big reveal! I bet you can’t wait to show them.

It looks fantastic. They'll be thrilled. What are you putting up at the window?

Curtains need to be washed. I will do that tomorrow morning

Looks amazing - what a transformation!! And you say that recently you were struggling with cleaning, so this is even more wonderful. Transforming your self inside as well as transforming your house into a home. What a fantastic way to end this year.

It’s fantastic, huge well done OP, I hope they love it

and not sure I’m reading your OP right but if it’s temp accommodation and you’ve managed to do that then even better

I was in temporary accommodation for a long time. I think it effected me more than I thought. Because although I have now Been housed for just over 18 months . I was still living like I was in temporary accommodation. Nothing homely, just a place to sleep toys and essentials not really a home.

I think that it's about time that you gave yourself some bloody credit!! From your previous posts you did a pretty good job of appearing slightly clueless about how to decorate. And then you waltz in with a hand painted bloody art installation that most people wouldn't be able to do!!

Just don't zoom in 🤣. No on the whole its ok .I Just need to touch it up a bit. I'm only going to correct the white bits though

RandomMess · 29/12/2023 21:52

Well done it's massive what you alone have achieved.

I'm sure they will love it.

Can you give any context? I’d love to hear your story.
Im assuming you’ve finally got your own place with your two boys and want to make it amazing for them?

Will the room be a surprise for them?

Well done for all the hard work- I can’t see anything messed up about the car picture either- it looks great. 💛

Its a very long story

Twasmoreorlessthenightbeforechristmaseveve · 29/12/2023 22:18

Honestly, it’s not 100% my cup of tea but my DS would totally love it 😊

Wendysfriend · 29/12/2023 22:20

OMG you have done a wonderful job. Well done you, you have worked so hard over the last few weeks making your house a home and you have achieved it.

The kids will love it.

Everything is amazing , how did you do the wall with the different colours ? That's a piece of art 😍😍

WavyLines11 · 29/12/2023 22:24

Amazing job op! Definitely time for a name change now Flowers

UngratefulOldCabbage · 29/12/2023 22:28

This has made me a bit teary - I'm so proud of you! It looks amazing and they are going to love it. Well done! Not just for doing it but for having the idea of what you wanted to achieve and absolutely smashing it Star

Myideaofhell · 29/12/2023 22:29

You have done an amazing job - you should be so proud of yourself. Xxx

StBrides · 29/12/2023 22:34

Op I am CHEERING for you! What a brilliant transformation - it looks great!

Have been thinking of you and how you got on. That mosaic wall is amazing- did you paint it?

Your boys are going to be blown away.

I utterly love your attitude and humour with mumsnet (and all the advice to move the bed - was one lol) I hope you're bloody proud of yourself - you should be.

Jellycatspyjamas · 29/12/2023 22:39

What a fantastic job - I hope you’re proud of yourself, it looks perfect for your boys. Your room next?
