Reclaimed Corner

The house had been built backwards. Our front door should have been our back door, so we decided to reclaim our wall and get rid of our front door in favour of a back door bearing in mind our main door is actually a SIDE DOOR! Here is the empty space we rid ourselves of in 1 and the new framework of plasterboard built, plastered over 2 and 3 and the final result 4 and of course 5 is the outer wall which we recladded and painted with black oak varnish, and I think you will agree it matches our cat very nicely!! It was hard work but once it was all taped, replastered inside and painted with four coats of emulsion inside and 4 coats of varnish outside, we had a beautiful reading corner and reclaimed wall!
