Hi @Romarlie

Let me tag @monochromehaus to make them aware of your kind words. I totally agree that the bedroom makeover was just awesome. It's amazing how a bit of Easycraft 9 x 2400 x 1200mm easyVJ100 Primed General Purpose Wall Lining MR MDF E0 can transform the entire look of the room. A bit of wallpaper certainly adds character to the entire scene.

If you're planning something similar, please don't forget to post an update. I'm sure our members would be keen to see how you'll transform your room with EasyVJ panels.

Great job on your girls room. Want to try something similar based on how good yours came out. Just wondering what skirting/trim you used on top of the VJ panels? Again, great job.
