shower screen, pelmet & wardrobe

The Ikea fairies came yesterday and dropped off several presents at our apartment! We received our bedroom wardrobe, Expedit bookshelf, a mirror, laundry sink, bike shelving, an up-light and some other things. Not as many presents as they should have brought though, because we had to cancel our Pax broom cupboard and a Pax wardrobe for the computer/bike room because neither fitted in the space they should have! A couple of oversights there - oops!

Our shower screen was installed yesterday. The shower is quite roomy, and I really look forward to not showering in a bath tub with a shower curtain anymore!

The construction of the pelmet for the two bathroom doors is also underway. I want the two sliding doors to be a feature, so I'm thinking of wallpapering them. I'm not sure if I should (just take the plunge and) order some wallpaper now and get the workers to put it up now, or if I should make it a little project of mine over the summer holidays and do it myself? I think wallpapering might be really hard though! Is it just like putting contact on school books?

  1. I reckon you can probably DIY wallpaper. I've seen quite a few tutorials on blogs and it seems relatively straightforward. Unless you have your heart set on a particular wallpaper, then I suppose it would be easy for the contractors to do it.
