I decided that the DVD-on-a-shelf idea that I’d been using up till now was shite. It intruded too far into the room, and was ugly. So I took down the brackets, and filled in the holes.
In all honesty I’m still not happy with the position of the TV. But I’ll leave it where it is for the time being.
Whilst the filler cured, I painted an undercoat on that section of skirting board. Doing this room piecemeal, around all the clutter, is proving tricky and time consuming. But we’re getting there. And if it must be by lots of little bites, so be it.
We won’t win any design awards with this setup/layout. But it’s a lot less cluttered than previously. And the new floor and carpet are a vast improvement. At least to my tastes. Teresa seems happy as well.
There is a little corner of as yet unpainted floor, on Teresa’s side of the room. The vast amount of clutter in that corner has given me ‘the fear’! But it’ll get done. And purty soon, I reckon.
