Bedroom Update

In July, we moved everything out of the bedroom to make way for a long-awaited built-in cupboard. Finally a place to put stuff out of sight. Hallelujah. During the structural renovations, we moved the wall 80 cms to accommodate it. A metal strip along the floor denotes a change in floor heights. This had been part of the old kitchen. The wall here is 4.4 metres wide.

And now it's three cupboards. We had the doors made maximum height, 2.7 metres, which allows for a huge storage shelf above the hanging space. Please note door-within-door on the right. That's the cat-sized portal to Pou's bachelor pad, where he can hide and rest in comfort. He's got a cubby hole lined with soft furnishings. First sign of the gardener arriving with a chain saw, in he went. I found a list of demands, including a mini flat screen TV and an unlimited supply of magret de canard, but otherwise he seems to like it.

The doors were raw wood, so while she was at it, Henny decided to redecorate the whole room. She did a superb job; we're thrilled with our lovely new bedroom!
