</div>mr l.c. remains to be convinced, he needs a bit of help to see past their 80s-ness, he has asked me to explain and justify my design process. i hope i don't have to build a 3D scale model like i did when i was planning the bathroom. (yes, i really did, i spent a whole afternoon in my old office job doing just so - oh for a husband with no design opinions!!)<br />
i think <a href="http://lazycozy-rachellovecameron.blogspot.com/2010/05/hallway-plan-yes-im-back.html">the hallway plan</a> can rock them, and as there are only five and we have six doors, the rooms that blue won't work in can have different interior handles.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">i started with an ikea cheapest ENJE roller blind and my lovely, lovely fabric...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">i measured the length that the blind needed to be when fully rolled down in situ, and marked this length plus 5cm (so there would be no way that we would see the abrupt end of the fabric)...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">i then weighed down the fabric and measured it against the blind, leaving about 10cm extra to wrap over the back. (the champagne was a congratulatory bottle for a visual merchandising competition <i>this time last year</i> which is still to be drunk when i and my glamourous assistant get together for dinner - it was the heaviest thing i had to hand!!!)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">i used my new favourite adhesive product (and i do like adhesive products A LOT) to stick the fabric to the blind...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">i spread the pva on in about 20cm sections and smoothed the fabric on using my metal metre rule (this was suprisingly effective, i only had to unpeel it a couple of tiny bits, due to small creases in the middle - i should have ironed them out first)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">then i just had to adhere the remainder to the back of the blind, cut a straight edge...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">and trim the along the edges (my fabric was only slightly wider than the blind, so i didn't need to cut the width before i pasted it).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">then mr l.c., with his superior diy skillz, kindly fitted the blind, et voila...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
